HashiCorp Boundary 0.12 has been released, introducing several key features to improve security, usability, and flexibility. Multi-hop sessions allow for secure access to infrastructure resources without exposing workers on private networks, while credential injection using Vault SSH certificates provides an additional layer of protection. Credential templating enables administrators to map credentials directly to users within a target, reducing the need for separate targets per user credential. Key lifecycle management allows for rotation and destruction of encryption keys, while JSON credentials provide more flexibility in the types of credentials that can be brokered. Additionally, authentication UX improvements make it easier for users to authenticate without requiring an auth method ID. These updates aim to enhance the security, scalability, and usability of HashiCorp Boundary, making it a more effective identity-based remote access solution for individuals and teams operating at any scale.
