»Terraform Providers

Hetzner Cloud is the cloud offering from Hetzner Online, a web hosting provider and data center operator with offices in Germany and Finland. Hetzner officially announced the creation of Hetzner Cloud in January 2018. The cloud was built with a “price to perform” model, offering a base price for entry level specifications and then increasing the price as needed for more robust cloud capabilities. The release of the new Hetzner Cloud Terraform provider allows users to provision infrastructure in Hetzner Cloud. At launch, the resources available for configuration are hcloud_server, hcloud_ssh, and hcloud_floating_ip. To see a sample configuration, please review the Terraform docs.

»Vault Integrations

Fortanix uses Runtime Encryption built upon Intel SGX to securely run applications in public cloud and remote clouds. Customers can run sensitive applications with deterministic security even when infrastructure is compromised. Fortanix offers Self-Defending Key Management Service (SDKMS), a unified HSM and Key Management solution. SDKMS is offered as a FIPS-validated appliance and as a cloud service. You can securely generate, store, and use keys and certificates using SDKMS. Fortanix recently announced SDKMS integration with a number of partners to expand its solutions eco-system. As part of this announcement, Fortanix introduced an integration with Vault Enterprise PKCS#11 HSM seal/unseal capabilities to deliver enhanced security. For more information about Vault Enterprise’s PKCS#11 seal function, please read the docs available here.

Yubico, a global security company, is the maker of the YubiKey, a hardware based key which enables multi-factor authentication, and the YubiHSM, a hardware module for protecting Certificate Authority root keys. Users access the YubiHSM through Yubico’s Key Storage Provider which operates on the PKCS#11 industry standard. Working with HashiCorp, Yubico recently introduced an integration between the YubiHSM product and the Vault Enterprise PKCS#11 HSM seal. This allows users implementing YubiHSM hardware to seal wrap Certificate Authority root keys using PKCS#11 for an added layer of security. This integration also enables features such as key generation and key rolling. For more information about Vault Enterprise’s PKCS#11 seal function, please read the docs available here.
