Harness – CI/CD Platform Course in Chennai

Module 1: Introduction to Harness and Software Delivery

• Harness platform overview: CD, CI, Feature Flags, CCM, and STO modules
• Harness architecture: delegates, connectors, and pipelines
• Harness account structure: organisations, projects, and environments
• Navigating the Harness UI and setting up initial connectors

Module 2: Harness CD – Continuous Delivery

• Services and environments: defining deployment targets
• Infrastructure definitions: Kubernetes, ECS, Lambda, and VMs
• Deployment strategies: rolling, blue-green, and canary
• Failure strategies: rollback, retry, and manual intervention

Module 3: Harness Pipelines and Stages

• Pipeline YAML: structure, stages, steps, and conditions
• Approval stages: Jira, ServiceNow, and custom approval gates
• Barrier and resource constraints for deployment coordination
• Triggers: Git push, webhook, cron, and artifact-based triggers

Module 4: Harness CI – Continuous Integration

• Build stages: clone, build, test, and publish steps
• Harness CI Intelligence: test intelligence for faster test execution
• Cache intelligence: automatic dependency caching
• Integration with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps

Module 5: Harness Software Testing Orchestration (STO)

• STO overview: unified security testing in pipelines
• Integrating SAST, DAST, SCA, and container scanning tools
• Normalised findings view and deduplication across scanners
• Security gates: blocking pipelines on critical vulnerabilities

Module 6: Harness Feature Flags

• Feature flag fundamentals: controlled feature rollouts
• Creating and managing feature flags in Harness
• Targeting rules: user, group, and percentage rollouts
• SDK integration: JavaScript, Java, Python, and Go SDKs

Module 7: Harness Cloud Cost Management (CCM)

• Cloud cost visibility: AWS, GCP, and Azure spend analysis
• Perspectives: custom cost grouping by team, service, and environment
• Cost anomaly detection and alerting
• AutoStopping: automatic shutdown of idle cloud resources

Module 8: Capstone Project and Assessment

• End-to-end Harness pipeline: CI build, STO scan, and CD deployment
• Blue-green deployment with automated rollback configuration
• Feature flag rollout and CCM cost optimisation exercise
• Final assessment and course certification

Experience in the Industry Gain expertise from Harness-certified platform engineers who have implemented Harness CD, CI, and STO pipelines for software teams accelerating deployment frequency and enforcing security gates across cloud-native applications.

Backgrounds at the Top Our Harness trainers have delivered software delivery platform implementations at technology companies and DevOps consultancies where Harness is adopted for its AI-powered deployment automation and unified pipeline approach.

Clear & Effective Teaching Harness CD deployment strategies, CI pipelines, STO security testing, Feature Flags, CCM cost management, approval gates, and failure strategies are explained with real software delivery examples.

Hands-On Learning Focus Students build Harness pipelines, configure blue-green deployments, integrate security scanners with STO, manage feature flags, and set up cost anomaly alerts through comprehensive hands-on lab exercises.

Up-to-Date Knowledge Trainers keep content current with the latest Harness platform releases, Harness AIDA AI-powered features, Harness GitOps capabilities, and evolving software delivery and DevSecOps best practices.
