HashiCorp has announced the launch of its Cloud Platform (HCP), a fully managed cloud offering designed to automate deployment of HashiCorp products on any cloud provider. The first service, HCP Consul, is now in private beta with support for AWS, and will be followed by HCP Vault. HCP aims to simplify cluster management and automated workflows, enabling faster deployment of critical workloads and reducing costs. Key features include push-button deployments, fully managed infrastructure, multi-cloud flexibility, and integration with identity providers like GitHub. HCP Consul on AWS enables secure service networking and service mesh for workloads across various AWS services, while also connecting AWS environments to other cloud environments and private data centers. The platform is designed to provide a unified workflow and single set of APIs to deploy any HashiCorp product on any cloud provider, with the goal of accelerating digital transformation and making multi-cloud objectives more practical for enterprises.
