Summary

HashiCorp Cloud Platform has added new locations in Singapore and Sydney, Australia, to its Asia-Pacific region, allowing users to deploy Vault and Consul clusters closer to their users and other applications. The platform also now supports multi-factor authentication, which enables users to add an authenticator application to their account for an extra layer of security. Additionally, the HCP Terraform provider has been updated with new capabilities, including peer-to-peer HVN networking and simplified onboarding for Consul clusters. HashiCorp Virtual Network improvements have also been made, allowing clusters deployed within the same HVN to communicate with one another by default. New organization and user management capabilities have been added, including a profile page v1 for password and MFA reset, and an org rename feature that allows users to rename their HCP organization. A public changelog has been released to track the latest changes to HCP and its services. The platform's HCP Vault service now offers new integrations with popular tools such as Datadog, Grafana Cloud, and Splunk, as well as a starter configuration for production-grade clusters. HCP Consul has also received updates, including a Plus configuration with federation, which allows users to federate Consul clusters across multiple regions for improved redundancy and resiliency of applications. The platform's cost estimator for Consul has been added, making it easier for users to understand the costs associated with running their Consul clusters. Additionally, HCP Packer is now in public beta, allowing users to track and automate build updates across HashiCorp Packer and Terraform workflows. To encourage new users, HashiCorp Cloud Platform is offering a $50 credit when creating an account and spinning up a cluster.
