HashiCorp Terraform Cloud Named a Finalist for 2020 CRN Tech Innovator Award

HashiCorp is pleased to announce that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named HashiCorp Terraform Cloud as a finalist in the 2020 CRN Tech Innovator Awards, in the category of Cloud Tools & Management.

 This annual awards program honors innovative vendors in the IT channel across 49 technology categories, in key areas ranging from cloud to security to storage to networking. CRN editors assessed hundreds of vendor products along multiple criteria, including uniqueness, key capabilities, technological competency, and addressing customer needs.

Terraform Cloud provides infrastructure automation as a service, and has added more than 5,000 new users per month (since its initial release in 2019), with more than 500K runs executed each month, and over two million resources under management. The offering is hosted by HashiCorp and gives HashiCorp SI and Reseller partners a solution to help customers accelerate adoption to the cloud without the need for scarce and expensive dedicated onsite cloud expertise. 

Terraform Cloud broadens the HashiCorp portfolio for partners and provides partners with the opportunity to sell Terraform as an annual subscription to both large enterprises with significant cloud resources as well as mid-market commercial accounts with limited cloud engineers and developers in-house.

With Terraform Cloud, organizations are able to accelerate cloud adoption of the first cloud, providing shorter time-to-resolution for service impacting issues, uptime SLAs for critical cloud infrastructure, reduced time-to-market for workloads, and lower upfront costs that scale as workloads scale. 

Terraform Cloud provides everything DevOps teams and global businesses need to create and collaborate on infrastructure, including management for security, compliance, and operational constraints. With Terraform Cloud, teams experience an enhanced workflow enabling them to share infrastructure as code and automate consistent workflows, empowering them to rapidly review, comment, and iterate on Infrastructure as Code while also creating a pipeline for provisioning Infrastructure as Code. 

Terraform Cloud allows teams to increase flexibility and reduce cost through standardization on a single platform, a unified set of APIs and workflows, and reduced risk around security, compliance, and operational consistency through the use of Terraform modules, Sentinel policy as code, scaleable team management, and central audit logging. It also increases productivity/lowers overhead by enabling a higher percentage of skilled team members to focus on the applications that deliver business value. 

Terraform cloud is a great door-opener for partner sellers and a bridge to expand opportunities with HashiCorp Vault and Consul. Partners should introduce Terraform Cloud Business tier on all Cloud Solutions Provider services they sell as it will help their customers secure and accelerate application migration to the cloud.
