HashiCorp

HashiCorp is a prominent software company that provides open-source tools and commercial products to enable developers, operators, and security professionals to provision, secure, connect, and run cloud-based infrastructure. Founded on the principle of enabling the 'cloud operating model,' the company offers a suite of widely adopted products including Terraform, Vault, Consul, and Nomad. These tools are designed to help organizations manage the complexity of multi-cloud and hybrid environments through infrastructure as code and automated workflows. In 2024, HashiCorp was acquired by IBM, a move intended to bolster IBM's hybrid cloud and AI capabilities. The company maintains a strong focus on developer experience and open-source contribution, fostering a massive ecosystem of users and contributors. By abstracting the complexities of underlying infrastructure, HashiCorp enables enterprises to scale their operations efficiently while maintaining consistent security and networking policies across diverse cloud providers.

HashiCorp's mission is to provide a consistent cloud operating model that enables organizations to unlock the potential of the cloud, allowing them to provision, secure, connect, and run any application on any infrastructure.
