Harness is a comprehensive CI/CD and cloud operations platform — it does a lot. The cost of that breadth is complexity. Getting it fully operational requires a dedicated platform team, meaningful professional services engagement, and weeks of configuration. For a 15-person startup that needs drift detection this week, that's not a trade-off — it's a blocker.
6 wk Reported Harness onboarding timelineEvery week you're not monitoring drift is a week your production infrastructure can silently diverge from desired state. Security groups can open, configs can change, backup policies can degrade. Six weeks of onboarding time is six weeks of unmonitored drift. InfraGhost connects in 5 minutes and starts scanning immediately. No consultants, no professional services, no calls.
InfraGhost covers drift detection, auto-remediation, incident logging, and multi-cloud visibility — the core operational requirements for teams that want their infrastructure to manage itself. There's no implementation project to run, no dedicated platform engineer required, and no enterprise contract to sign. It's designed to work immediately for teams that don't have the headroom to spend six weeks standing up tooling.
InfraGhost starts monitoring your infrastructure the moment you connect your cloud account. No professional services, no dedicated platform team, no six-week timeline.
