Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is one of the public clouds supported by HashiCorp. GCP provides a rich set of services and features and is one of the core providers we dedicate resources to. Our focus being on testing, improving the performance of existing resources, and building support for new features. GCP has differentiated themselves with their provisioning speed and consistency of Virtual Machines. This capability was super impressive to us and we wanted to put that to the test… and with that was born the Million Container Challenge with GCP and Nomad. The benchmark test scheduled 1,000,000 Docker containers on 5,000 hosts in under 5 minutes. GCP offers per-minute billing, ideal for microservices where resources are ephemeral. For example, a user may spin up runtime resources hundreds of times per hour but only pay for the time used, as opposed to paying for the entire hour. Our work with GCP is key to deliver on our vision: any infrastructure for any application. We have teamed up with Google to build a set of four bite-size videos that discuss HashiCorp tools on GCP. The videos provide an introduction to the tools, demos, and steps to getting started.

Announcing the HashiCorp Training Partner Program
Announcing the HashiCorp Training Partner Program

HashiCorp tools continue to surge in adoption with more than a million downloads in the past year. The tools provide enterprise customers with common workflows through which they can develop, deploy, and schedule their infrastructure in a collaborative, scalable, and secure way. While well documented and easy to adopt, many organizers prefer an on-site instructor to discuss the features and best practices for using the tools. To codify these best practices and ensure that the tools are used properly and safely HashiCorp engineers have developed an official training curriculum.  These trainings have been delivered by HashiCorp and have helped grow the community of expert-users, folks who truly know the inner workings of the HashiCorp tools. So far this year, over 500 individuals have completed HashiCorp trainings, many of which received certifications on one or more HashiCorp products (Vault, Terraform, Consul). As the adoption of HashiCorp continues to grow, so does the demand for training. In order to scale to meet the demand for training, HashiCorp is announcing our inaugural Training Partner Program. The Training Partner Program includes only a couple partners - who demonstrate expertise in HashiCorp products and technical training programs – allowing the program to be piloted and fine-tuned before being scaled out. We would like to offer a warm welcome to our inaugural Training Partners: Amazic and ECS Digital!

Azure Resource Manager Support for Packer and Terraform
Azure Resource Manager Support for Packer and Terraform

We are excited to announce Azure Resource Manager (ARM) support for HashiCorp’s core infrastructure configuration and provisioning tools, Packer and Terraform. Now all of HashiCorp's open source tools - Vagrant, Packer, Terraform, Consul, Nomad, Vault, Otto - support best practices for application delivery on Microsoft Azure. HashiCorp tools focus on workflows, not technologies. Users of our tools can apply the same workflow for infrastructure provisioning, application deployment, application maintenance, and security across all their infrastructure — both on-premises and in the cloud. As a result, enterprises save time on infrastructure management so they can commit more resources towards solving business-critical needs. Read on to learn more about the HashiCorp workflow for infrastructure automation on Microsoft Azure.
