HashiCorp has been acquired by IBM, leading to a focus on integrating HashiCorp Terraform and Vault with Red Hat Ansible and OpenShift. This integration aims to provide a seamless automation experience across the entire infrastructure lifecycle, eliminating manual integration and custom glue code. Key opportunities include dynamically generating inventory for Red Hat Ansible using Terraform, official Terraform modules for Red Hat Ansible, and deeper integration between these offerings. HashiCorp Vault is being integrated with Red Hat OpenShift to deliver a "push-button" secured application platform experience, reducing the burden of configuration points for users. The collaboration also aims to explore broader portfolio synergies, including FinOps capability, zero trust approaches, and integrating Vault with other IBM and Red Hat solutions.
