HashiCorp is an open-source software company[1] based in San Francisco, California. HashiCorp provides open source tools and commercial products that enable developers, operators and security professionals to provision, secure and run distributed application infrastructure.[2] It was founded in 2012 by Mitchell Hashimoto and Armon Dadgar.[3][4]
HashiCorp is headquartered in San Francisco, but their employees are distributed across the United States and Europe. HashiCorp offers both open source and paid commercial products.[5]
Open-source tools
HashiCorp provides a suite of open source tools intended to support development and deployment of large-scale service-oriented software installations. Each tool is aimed at specific stages in the life cycle of a software application, with a focus on automation. Many have a plugin-oriented architecture in order to provide integration with third-party technologies and services.[6] Additional proprietary features for some of these tools are offered commercially and are aimed at enterprise customers.[7]
The main product line consists of these following tools:[2][6]
- Vagrant, supporting the building and maintenance of reproducible software development environments via virtualisation technology.
- Packer, a tool for building virtual machine images for later deployment.
- Terraform, which enables provisioning and adapting virtual infrastructure across several cloud providers.
- Consul[6], providing distributed KV storage, DNS based service discovery, RPC, and event propagation. The underlying event, membership, and failure detection mechanisms are provided by Serf, an open-source library also published by HashiCorp.
- Vault[7], which provides access control and auditing of secrets for applications and users.
- Nomad, supporting scheduling and deployment of tasks across worker nodes in a cluster.
