HashiCorp at AWS re:Invent: Your blueprint for cloud success

Amazon Web Services’ flagship cloud conference — AWS re:Invent — is back, and this year HashiCorp’s presence is bigger than ever. (You can still register to attend in-person or remotely.) For both in-person and remote attendees, we’re pleased to share the latest news on our long-standing relationship with Amazon and how we help organizations provision, secure, run, and connect applications running in AWS.

Whether organizations go fully cloud-native or maintain a hybrid infrastructure combining cloud and on-premises resources, HashiCorp products are instrumental in supporting those diverse environments. For many organizations, HashiCorp Terraform is the preferred way to provision resources on AWS at scale. Similarly, HashiCorp Vault is central to adopting zero trust security on AWS. And increasingly, HashiCorp Consul is how DevOps teams choose to automate networking across AWS runtimes.

HashiCorp and AWS recently achieved a remarkable milestone: 2 billion downloads of the AWS provider for Terraform — less than one year after the provider reached 1 billion downloads. This milestone underscores the growing recognition of the need for standardized infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions as organizations scale. Terraform plays a pivotal role in empowering application teams to compose, reuse, and collaborate effectively on infrastructure provisioning, ultimately accelerating the build and deployment process.

In 2023, HashiCorp is an Emerald sponsor of re:Invent and we have a full program of events where attendees can learn and network at the show. Here are some highlights:
