Summary: San Francisco-based HashiCorp has deepened it relationship with Microsoft for hybrid Azure environments and added new security features to its cloud automation platform.
Terraform details: Cloud automation and DevOps vendor HashiCorp has entered a multi-year collaboration with Microsoft to expand support for provisioning infrastructure to Azure through its Terraform platform. Terraform allows organizations to build, change and version on-premise and cloud infrastructure with consistent workflows in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The collaboration focuses on enhancing existing deployments of Terraform for Azure, as well as a joint go-to-market strategy. Companies use Terraform to: collaboratively write, test and provision infrastructure as code; provision infrastructure and application resources through a unified workflow across multiple on-premises and cloud environments; and, enable development and operations teams to create and deploy infrastructure through shared templates.

The open source release now comes with new secure plugins which enable IT administrators to integrate custom authentication back-ends and workflows. Vault Enterprise 0.8 includes automated replication of tokens, leased credentials, secrets and policies to enable more efficient and secure disaster recovery. The enterprise edition also contains features to better manage secrets that are governed by data sovereignty, governance, risk management and compliance regulations, as well as more robust multi-factor authentication (MFA) features.
