Summary

HashiCorp has partnered with Microsoft to create Terraform modules that follow Microsoft's Azure Well-Architected Framework and best practices, enabling the deployment, security, and enablement of AI-based applications on Azure using HashiCorp Terraform and Vault. The partnership aims to accelerate AI adoption on Azure by providing a streamlined process for building, securing, and enabling OpenAI applications. To achieve this, HashiCorp has developed a three-step process that leverages Terraform's infrastructure as code (IaC) capabilities and Vault's secrets management features. This process enables the deployment of public key infrastructure (PKI) and robust secrets management to safeguard sensitive information and ensure cryptographic resilience in data transactions. Additionally, HashiCorp Terraform provides automation and orchestration capabilities to extend beyond efficiency to become critical components in fortifying against security vulnerabilities. The partnership also highlights the importance of platform teams adopting IaC to enhance efficiency, control cloud costs, and reduce infrastructure risk. By using Terraform's IaC principles and Vault's secrets management features, organizations can create a secure and efficient AI environment that orchestrates the seamless integration of artificial intelligence and operations.
