HashiCorp Waypoint is now available on the HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) in public beta, offering a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) experience for application delivery that simplifies and standardizes deployment across various platforms. It uses a single declarative file to achieve consistency across infrastructure, platforms, and tooling, with an extensible plugin system and customizable lifecycle features. The HCP Waypoint server is fully managed by HashiCorp, providing a UI-integrated portal and reducing operational overhead. Users can take advantage of identity access management (IAM) capabilities and grant access to sensitive variables, ensuring a stronger security posture. The public beta is free to use and aims to gather early user feedback for common workflows, with the goal of supporting production environments in future iterations.
