CloudFormation How-tos

Updated 4 months ago by Michael Cretzman

Harness has first-class support for AWS CloudFormation as an infrastructure provisioner.

See the following CloudFormation How-tos:

For a conceptual overview of Harness CloudFormation integration, see CloudFormation Provisioning with Harness.

Deployment Strategies Supported — For most deployments, Harness Infrastructure Provisioners are only supported in Canary and Multi-Service types. For AMI/ASG and ECS deployments, Infrastructure Provisioners are also supported in Blue/Green deployments.
