## Why a Canary Deployment in EKS?

Harness and AWS are presenting this workshop to demonstrate how easy it is to quickly and reliably create a canary deployment. Through the course of this workshop, you will learn how to use Harness and your AWS account, to dive into the features of Harness and see how it revolutionizes the CICD world. There is no prior experience necessary as we will showcase how easy our platform is to use. You will learn how to use Harness to build out a pipeline and deploy applications without the need for manual scripts.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

* Set up and Harness Delegate and add an EKS Cluster
* Deploy an instance of Prometheus
* Create a successful deployment in Harness using a pipeline and prometheus to monitor the application
* Learn how Harness makes the deployment process easier
* Join the on demand Q&A with your Harness and AWS peers
