As more organizations make the shift from monolithic infrastructure to microservice-based architectures, there remain some applications which cannot be added to a service mesh, either because of technology or regulatory constraints (e.g. managed database services).

Consul and BIG-IP provide organizations an end-to-end solution to achieve this communication

This is a guest post by Rani Osnat, VP Marketing at Aqua Security. Aqua is a HashiCorp technology partner and focuses on securing container-based applications from development to production, on any platform. Aqua Security, founded in 2015, focuses on securing applications that are developed and run using virtual containers, e.g. using Docker. We provide automated security controls for the entire lifecycle of containers, starting from development and all the way to protecting container workloads in production. We work with large enterprises that already use containers or are migrating to containers, and have security and regulatory requirements to ensure their applications are protected and monitored. We chose to integrate with HashiCorp Vault after learning of a customer need for secrets management in containers. Vault is the leading product for secrets management in the enterprise, is widely used by large enterprises, and is easy to integrate with.
Continuing the momentum from the HashiCorp Vault and HashiCorp Consul Quick Start Guides (QSG) which have seen tremendous usage, we’ve partnered with the AWS team to build a QSG for HashiCorp Nomad.

This post will discuss getting started with Terraform Enterprise and the first steps to setting up Bitbucket Cloud for your environment.
This is a guest blog from Henrik Grankvist, COO at Elastx. Elastx is a HashiCorp Technology Partner. Elastx is a Swedish based public cloud provider. We offer two fully automated cloud platforms, IaaS and PaaS. The underlying foundation is based on our Jelastic PaaS and OpenStack platform. Our datacenters are throughout Sweden and are 20 kilometers from one another. This is ideal for building cloud-based environments with high-availability and disaster recovery in-mind. We offer 100Gbps core network connectivity. The latency between our datacenters is less than 0.5ms. We have been running OpenStack in production since 2014. We were the first Nordic cloud provider to join the OpenStack foundation. The OpenStack deployment supports standard API's with both ISO14001 and ISO27001 certifications. Elastx believes the best way we can help companies is with sustainable, automated IT. We focus on codified infrastructure for our IaaS, PaaS, and bare metal solutions. The codified infrastructure is the foundation of automation for our customers. Terraform and the other HashiCorp products enable us to build this infrastructure stack.
Learn how to use Terraform to manage GitHub organizations, repositories, teams, and permissions.
This partner blog is written by Rik Farenhorst, DevOps leader at Xebia and CEO of Xebia's latest product company, called instruqt. Xebia is one of HashiCorp's partners in Europe, co-organized HashiConf EU in 2016, and is a leader in DevOps training, consultancy and solutions in the Netherlands, France and India. Xebians are quite experienced in most of HashiCorp's products and use and advocate them at their customers. Xebia instruqt provides a learning platform for DevOps tools. Last year we noticed a significant shortage in DevOps talent. DevOps concepts are often hard to master for organizations transitioning to DevOps. We have been using HashiCorp products in our customer projects for some time. Our observation is many organizations have a DevOps skill gaps. This becomes a showstopper for the innovation power and speed required to remain competitive in today's digital era. In our quest for an effective approach to transfer knowledge and skills we always focused on: coaching-on-the-job, forming specialized DevOps teams that include experts from the customer, and on-site classroom based training. These methods have merit but they are not the most effective or fun way to learn. We were on the search for an alternative way to spread the word about leading DevOps products.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is one of the public clouds supported by HashiCorp. GCP provides a rich set of services and features and is one of the core providers we dedicate resources to. Our focus being on testing, improving the performance of existing resources, and building support for new features. GCP has differentiated themselves with their provisioning speed and consistency of Virtual Machines. This capability was super impressive to us and we wanted to put that to the test… and with that was born the Million Container Challenge with GCP and Nomad. The benchmark test scheduled 1,000,000 Docker containers on 5,000 hosts in under 5 minutes. GCP offers per-minute billing, ideal for microservices where resources are ephemeral. For example, a user may spin up runtime resources hundreds of times per hour but only pay for the time used, as opposed to paying for the entire hour. Our work with GCP is key to deliver on our vision: any infrastructure for any application. We have teamed up with Google to build a set of four bite-size videos that discuss HashiCorp tools on GCP. The videos provide an introduction to the tools, demos, and steps to getting started.
We are pleased to announce the release of the official Cloud Foundry HashiCorp Vault Service Broker. This service broker connects to an existing Vault cluster and can be used by multiple tenants within Cloud Foundry to securely store, access, and encrypt using Vault.
The following is a guest blog post from Aater Suleman, CEO at Flux7. Flux7 is one of HashiCorp's Premier System Integration partners and have successfully helped deploy dozens of customer environments using the HashiCorp stack. As a HashiCorp consulting partner, Flux7 helps organizations establish a framework for repeatable deployments of Vault on top of their existing infrastructure or as part of a new infrastructure solution. We began working with HashiCorp Vault two years ago in response to increased requests from Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) who wanted to ensure their company’s cloud migration or greenfield deployment met the organization’s risk, security, and compliance objectives.
At HashiCorp, we make tools that automate the modern datacenter, so you can secure, provision, and run any application on any infrastructure. Today we are excited to announce the general availability of AWS Quick Start Guides for two of our popular open source tools: Consul and Vault.
HashiCorp tools continue to surge in adoption with more than a million downloads in the past year. The tools provide enterprise customers with common workflows through which they can develop, deploy, and schedule their infrastructure in a collaborative, scalable, and secure way. While well documented and easy to adopt, many organizers prefer an on-site instructor to discuss the features and best practices for using the tools. To codify these best practices and ensure that the tools are used properly and safely HashiCorp engineers have developed an official training curriculum. These trainings have been delivered by HashiCorp and have helped grow the community of expert-users, folks who truly know the inner workings of the HashiCorp tools. So far this year, over 500 individuals have completed HashiCorp trainings, many of which received certifications on one or more HashiCorp products (Vault, Terraform, Consul). As the adoption of HashiCorp continues to grow, so does the demand for training. In order to scale to meet the demand for training, HashiCorp is announcing our inaugural Training Partner Program. The Training Partner Program includes only a couple partners - who demonstrate expertise in HashiCorp products and technical training programs – allowing the program to be piloted and fine-tuned before being scaled out. We would like to offer a warm welcome to our inaugural Training Partners: Amazic and ECS Digital!
We are excited to announce Azure Resource Manager (ARM) support for HashiCorp’s core infrastructure configuration and provisioning tools, Packer and Terraform. Now all of HashiCorp's open source tools - Vagrant, Packer, Terraform, Consul, Nomad, Vault, Otto - support best practices for application delivery on Microsoft Azure. HashiCorp tools focus on workflows, not technologies. Users of our tools can apply the same workflow for infrastructure provisioning, application deployment, application maintenance, and security across all their infrastructure — both on-premises and in the cloud. As a result, enterprises save time on infrastructure management so they can commit more resources towards solving business-critical needs. Read on to learn more about the HashiCorp workflow for infrastructure automation on Microsoft Azure.
