Today, European customers can deploy HCP Terraform and HCP Waypoint locally in the European region to help achieve geographic service locality, reduce latency, and comply with GDPR requirements. In this post, we will discuss the benefits European customers can expect from HCP Terraform and Waypoint in Europe.
»Europe region and data governance
For HCP Terraform and HCP Waypoint customers in Europe, we now offer a service region designed to store specific categories of data locally while ensuring global security and support.
»Local geographies
We have created geographic service locality in Europe that contains HCP Terraform and Waypoint services. Establishing services in this geography provides the following benefits for our European customers:
- HCP services physically run in a European datacenter.
- Customers' Terraform data (files, modules, directories) are stored in Europe.
- HCP Terraform and HCP Waypoint Europe are not dependent on HCP datacenters outside of Europe.
- HCP service in Europe are also not impacted by any service disruptions in HCP regions outside of Europe.
- Closer datacenters will help reduce latency.
- Certain categories of customer data will stay in Europe (see Trust Center for more details).
»Data transfer
For certain operational or security monitoring use cases, HashiCorp may transfer some customer data outside Europe. When we do, any customer data not strictly required for business purposes like security, support, or billing is automatically redacted. Authorized personnel outside Europe may access your data, but this access is limited to specific roles and is not used to store or save your data. To ensure full transparency and security, all access is tracked and auditable.

»HCP Terraform: Infrastructure as code for automation across environments
HCP Terraform in Europe provides the same great functionality organizations have come to rely on with a single workflow to provision cloud and private datacenter infrastructure while continuously managing it throughout its lifecycle.
It enables one automated workflow to cut costs, reduce risks, and move faster through:
»Streamlined IaC workflows across teams
Collaborate faster, provision smarter with a flexible runtime environment that has built-in workflows and controls, designed to help your teams collaborate smoothly and securely. This keeps platform teams and developers on the same page, reducing the chance of provisioning errors and keeping your projects moving forward.
»Secure infrastructure with policy as code
Automate guardrails for seamless compliance with automatic policy enforcement to keep everything on track. By integrating Sentinel and Open Policy Agent (OPA) policy as code frameworks, you can rest assured the infrastructure your teams deploy meets security and compliance standards — without slowing them down. It’s speed and security, working together.
»Scale self-service with Terraform-powered workflows
For platform engineers, the challenge isn’t just provisioning infrastructure — it’s doing it consistently, securely, and without drowning in tickets. Whether your organization relies on ITSM systems like ServiceNow, builds developer portals with tools like Backstage or Red Hat Developer Hub, or prefers a Terraform-native experience with HCP Waypoint, Terraform provides the common foundation. By exposing pre-approved modules through simple forms, portals, or APIs, platform teams can deliver fast, safe infrastructure provisioning without requiring developers to touch Terraform code — giving developers autonomy while keeping standards, policies, and governance firmly in place.
»HCP Waypoint: A Terraform-native developer self-service portal
HCP Waypoint is a developer self-service portal for Terraform that helps standardize infrastructure. Platform engineers define golden patterns and workflows once, and developers can easily consume them to provision, update, and manage environments — from Day 0 setup through Day 2+ operations.
By surfacing curated Terraform modules through a simple UI or API, Waypoint gives developers speed and simplicity without requiring them to learn HCL, while platform teams keep ownership of the standards, guardrails, and governance that make infrastructure scale safely.
It’s the Terraform-native path in the broader self-service journey: lightweight, consistent, and built on the workflows teams already trust.
This empowers platform teams to:
- Define golden Terraform patterns once and expose them as simple workflows in Waypoint.
- Translate developer needs (like databases, caches, queues) into safe, reusable templates.
- Provide consistent workflows from Day 0 provisioning through Day 2+ operations, integrated with existing CI/CD pipelines.
