Recap and Videos from HashiDays London

Today we are proud to announce our first publication by HashiCorp Research, titled "Lifeguard: SWIM-ing with Situational Awareness". The paper details a number of novel improvements we have introduced to Serf, Consul, and Nomad to make their underlying gossip protocol more robust. Collectively called Lifeguard, these extensions reduce by 50x the false positives produced by the failure detector and allow us to detect true failures faster.

Distributed systems such as BitTorrent, Apache Cassandra, Microsoft Orleans, and HashiCorp Consul commonly use Gossip protocols. They are typically embedded to provide features such as cluster membership (who is in the cluster), failure detection (which members are alive), and event broadcast. Their peer to peer nature often makes them much more scalable and reliable than centralized approaches to solving the same problem. However, the reduced amount of communication makes them sensitive to slow processing of their messages.

Many of our tools leverage work from the academic community, and with HashiCorp Research we hope to contribute back. Our focus is on novel work and whitepapers about the algorithms and system designs we are using in practice. Lifeguard is our first published work, and  our users operating the tools in production environments drive the focus of these improvements.

Read on to learn more about Lifeguard.

This is a guest blog from Henrik Grankvist, COO at Elastx. Elastx is a HashiCorp Technology Partner.
Elastx is a Swedish based public cloud provider. We offer two fully automated cloud platforms, IaaS and PaaS. The underlying foundation is  based on our Jelastic PaaS and OpenStack platform. Our datacenters are throughout Sweden and are 20 kilometers from one another. This is ideal for building cloud-based environments with high-availability and disaster recovery in-mind. We offer 100Gbps core network connectivity. The latency between our datacenters is less than 0.5ms. We have been running OpenStack in production since 2014. We were the first Nordic cloud provider to join the OpenStack foundation. The OpenStack deployment supports standard API's with both ISO14001 and ISO27001 certifications. 
Elastx believes the best way we can help companies is with sustainable, automated IT.
We focus on codified infrastructure for our IaaS, PaaS, and bare metal solutions. The codified infrastructure is the foundation of automation for our customers. Terraform and the other HashiCorp products enable us to build this infrastructure stack.

HashiConf is HashiCorp's annual technology and user conference. This year, HashiConf takes place September 18-20 in Austin, Texas. In addition to a full day of product trainings on September 18th, there will be two days of  technical talks, discussions, keynotes, and networking with peers. HashiConf is the best opportunity to share knowledge with the HashiCorp community about the future of infrastructure as companies adopt DevOps principles and cloud technologies.

Announcing HashiConf 2017

We recently announced HashiConf 2017 in Austin, TX. The Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 6 (SB6), which targets transgender individuals by requiring they use the bathroom of the gender designated on their birth-certificate. HashiConf is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form.

This partner blog is written by Rik Farenhorst, DevOps leader at Xebia and CEO of Xebia's latest product company, called instruqt. Xebia is one of HashiCorp's partners in Europe, co-organized HashiConf EU in 2016, and is a leader in DevOps training, consultancy and solutions in the Netherlands, France and India. Xebians are quite experienced in most of HashiCorp's products and use and advocate them at their customers.
Xebia instruqt provides a learning platform for DevOps tools. Last year we noticed a significant shortage in DevOps talent. DevOps concepts are often hard to master for organizations transitioning to DevOps. We have been using HashiCorp products in our customer projects for some time. Our observation is many organizations have a DevOps skill gaps. This becomes a showstopper for the innovation power and speed required to remain competitive in today's digital era.  In our quest for an effective approach to transfer knowledge and skills we always focused on: coaching-on-the-job, forming specialized DevOps teams that include experts from the customer, and on-site classroom based training. These methods have merit but they are not the most effective or fun way to learn. We were on the search for an alternative way to spread the word about leading DevOps products.

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.

2016 was an astonishing year at HashiCorp, and I want to take a moment to reflect and share our story with you.

2016 Year in Review

Today we are excited to formally release DevOps Defined, a guide for adopting DevOps to accelerate application delivery. Two years ago we published our Tao of HashiCorp, in which we detailed the design principles and philosophy behind our tools. Since then we have launched several new open source projects including Vault and Nomad which follow the Tao. It has been an extremely useful resource for giving our technology a shared direction.
However, technology is just one aspect software development. Software organizations are composed of people, processes, and technology. While it's easy to focus on just the technology, it is ultimately just an enabler of successful people and process. Thus, it's important to understand the workflows and productivity of the people that power software organizations. Our organizations should be designed to align teams through empowering workflows. To us, that is the essence of DevOps.

HashiCorp, DevOps, and the Application Delivery Process

At HashiCorp, we make tools that automate the modern datacenter, so you can secure, provision, and run any application on any infrastructure. Today we are excited to announce the general availability of AWS Quick Start Guides for two of our popular open source tools: Consul and Vault.

Consul and Vault on AWS: Quick Start Guides

Today we are releasing Serf 0.8. Serf is a decentralized solution for cluster membership, failure detection, and orchestration. Serf is in use in some huge deployments (more than 10,000 machines in a single cluster), and powers Consul and Nomad.

This release brings improvements in Serf's gossip protocol which provide better robustness for applications that rely on Serf to detect the health of nodes in a cluster. It also includes some smaller updates and one important bug fix.

You can download Serf 0.8 here or view the changelog

We are proud to host our second annual HashiConf US in Napa, California. HashiConf is an opportunity to gather our global user community to discuss where we have been, where we are going, and how HashiCorp DevOps tools can be used to solve the infrastructure challenges of today.

Our development, operations, and security tools have been adopted by a range of companies, from startups to large enterprises and governments. As organizations build mission critical applications around our tools, it is important for us to invest responsibly to maintain stable growth.

Today at HashiConf we are excited to announce $24 million in Series B financing, alongside updates to our tools and the general availability of Vault Enterprise.

HashiConf 2016 Announcements

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!
