March 2025 focused on expanding deployment control, ensuring backward compatibility, and enabling dynamic configuration across Terraform Cloud and schema layers. Delivered the ExecuteOnDelegate flag in TerraformCloudConnector (harness-go-sdk), introduced a backward-compatible execute_on_delegate field in the Terraform Cloud Connector (harness-provider), and added optionalValuesYaml for Helm/Kubernetes schemas to support expressions and input sets (with README updates). Commit activity spans 3 repos, strengthening business value by enabling finer task placement, safer migrations, and more flexible configuration.

February 2025 monthly summary focusing on delivering pipeline capabilities and stabilizing AWS integration, with a clear impact on deployment reliability and operational flexibility. Key work delivered across two repos: - harness/terraform-provider-harness: Fixed AWS Connector execute_on_delegate handling on updates to prevent unintended behavior on updates; ensures execute_on_delegate is only true on create when there is no resource ID. This reduces misconfigurations during updates. - harness/harness-schema: Expanded CI/CD pipeline deletion capabilities with a new Helm delete step and enhanced Kubernetes delete step with a commandFlags field across v0 and v1 schemas, enabling flexible and robust deletion workflows from pipelines.
