IBM HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP)

Overview

HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has a number of different offerings. This includes Terraform, Vault, Boundary, and Packer.

Coming soon, HCP will also offer Flex licensing. Flex is a next gen pricing model which gives full access to HCP's enterprise automation and security while ensuring predictable, consumption based pricing that scales with needs. Unlike traditional licensing models, Flex allows customers to pay for what they use and seamlessly scale as their cloud footprint grows. This allows purchase of HCP via annual commitments with usage discounts. Discounts and Support Level are based on commitments, and we recommend speaking to HashiCorp before purchase to ensure the best experience.

Highlights

• Simplify with a single workflow: Use infrastructure as code to automate and manage all environments

• Automate identity-based security: Authenticate and authorize every access request

• Remove the management overhead associated with deploying and maintaining HashiCorp products with a fully-managed platform
