HashiCorp is headquartered in San Francisco, but their employees are distributed across the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. HashiCorp offers both open-source and proprietary products.[5]
Open-source tools
HashiCorp provides a suite of open-source tools intended to support the development and deployment of large-scale service-oriented software installations. Each tool is aimed at specific stages in the life cycle of a software application, with a focus on automation. Many have a plugin-oriented architecture in order to provide integration with third-party technologies and services.[6] Additional proprietary features for some of these tools are offered commercially and are aimed at enterprise customers.[7]
The main product line consists of the following tools:[2][6]
- Vagrant (first released in 2010[8]): supports the building and maintenance of reproducible software-development environments via virtualization technology.
- Packer (first released in June 2013[9][10]): a tool for building virtual-machine images for later deployment.
- Terraform (first released in July 2014): infrastructure as code software which enables provisioning and adapting virtual infrastructure across all major cloud providers.
- Consul (first released in April 2014[11][6]): provides distributed KV storage, DNS-based service discovery, RPC, and event propagation. The underlying event, membership, and failure-detection mechanisms are provided by Serf, an open-source library also published by HashiCorp.
- Vault (first released in April 2015[12]): provides secrets management, identity-based access, encrypting application data and auditing of secrets for applications, systems, and users.[7]
- Nomad (released in September 2015[13]): supports scheduling and deployment of tasks across worker nodes in a cluster.
- Serf, first released in 2013, is a decentralized cluster membership, failure detection, and orchestration software product.[14]
- Sentinel, a policy as code framework for HashiCorp products[15]
- Boundary (released in October 2020[16]): provides secure remote access to systems based on trusted identity.
- Waypoint (released in October 2020[17]): provides a modern workflow to build, deploy, and release across platforms.
