IAC-Server: Version 1.116.0 & IAC-Manager: Version 1.61.4

New Features and Enhancements

• Module Registry: We've introduced the Module Registry, a centralized repository that allows you to manage and publish versions of pre-built infrastructure modules. This feature supports versioning, enhances search functionality, and integrates seamlessly with existing IaCM configurations, all while providing detailed access control settings.

  What You Need to Know:

  • Prerequisites: Ensure your Harness connectors are set up, or if using a delegate, it should be version 25.01.85000 or later. For more information, check out the Module Registry Documentation.

IAC-Manager: Version 1.57.0

• OpenTofu/Terraform import: Harness Pipelines now support the tofu/terraform import command, allowing you to bring existing infrastructure under IaC control.

IaCM 2024 Release Notes

August 2024

IAC-Server 1.50.0 and IAC-Manager: 1.32.0

New features and enhancements

• Sensitive data removal: IACM now supports a feature flag that will remove all sensitive data from your plan and state. This can only be used in conjunction with an OpenTofu/Terraform remote backend and offers advanced security with reduced feature set. We recommend contacting Harness support if you are interested in trying this functionality. (IAC-2281)

• Workspace expression: Enhanced the usage and readability of workspace expressions (IAC-2187)

  • For example, referencing a terraform or OpenTofu variable can be done at workspace level.

February 2024

Version IAC-Server: 0.152.0

Fixed issues

• Improved Variable Deletion Permissions: Fixed an oversight where permissions for variable deletion were not checked during workspace updates.

This update ensures that permissions are verified against both the individual deletions and the broader workspace variable updates, maintaining security without modifying the core architecture between iac-server and sprox.
