Optimize cloud operations and ROI
Reduce cloud infrastructure costs, optimize cloud operations, and boost ROI with effective lifecycle management for your infrastructure and security.
Cloud waste is eating 32% of your budget
Enterprises are grappling with rising cloud infrastructure costs, declining ROI, and growing complexity. As cloud adoption scales, outdated infrastructure, tools, and processes can’t keep up. To regain control and maximize value, you need a modern proactive operations model that’s optimized for cost and built on automated workflows.
35%
of cloud spend is wasted annually, with 75% seeing rising inefficiencies
40%
of IT leaders cite lack of visibility and control as a barrier to cloud optimization
70%
of organizations struggle to find skilled cloud professionals to manage these environments
Save up to 40% with proactive cost governance
The Infrastructure Cloud helps organizations optimize their hybrid cloud estate by streamlining operations and complexity, improving visibility, lowering costs, and increasing ROI.
3 ways to optimize cloud operations and ROI
Do cloud right with scalable, automated processes that reduce costs and risk while keeping you ahead of the competition. HashiCorp helps enterprises start seeing value from their cloud investments by focusing on three interconnected pillars.
Proactive cost management and visibility
Control cloud and development spend with a scalable development platform that automates budget enforcement, standardizes infrastructure provisioning, and integrates real-time visibility and reporting tools.
- Self-service developer platform with guardrailsEmpower developers with no-code provisioning and built-in policy guardrails that help them move faster while controlling costs and meeting compliance.
- Real-time cost and infrastructure visibilityAvoid budget surprises and improve visibility into cloud use across teams and projects with cost management integrations that help you make better decisions.
- Reusable image and module managementMake costs and workloads more predictable by standardizing deployments with prebuilt infrastructure that eliminates manual rework and reduces overhead.
- Automate secure image and network resourcesStop costly security and networking requirements from stalling development teams with built-in policies for access, compliance, and connectivity.
Efficient cloud and resource utilization
Maximize cloud resources by eliminating waste, standardizing infrastructure, and automating workflows to reduce complexity and improve cloud efficiency at scale.
- Optimize your cloud programStandardize cloud development and operations patterns to reduce operational overhead, eliminate tool sprawl, and streamline delivery across teams and environments.
- Implement automated workflowsUse prebuilt modules and policy as code to accelerate delivery, reduce manual work, and meet cost and security standards.
- Eliminate idle or orphaned cloud wasteControl cloud infrastructure costs by enforcing automated cleanup policies to reduce unnecessary cloud spend and free up budget.
- Consolidate cloud workflows and toolsScale automation across hybrid environments with a library of approved templates and tools that simplify onboarding and standardize deployments.
Resilient and automated cloud operations
Standardize cloud operations with automated provisioning, integrated security, and self-healing infrastructure to reduce risk, prevent drift, and scale resilience.
- Standardize secrets management and least-privilege network accessSimplify access and reduce security costs with centralized secrets management and least-privilege controls across hybrid environments.
- Minimize material riskLower the cost of risk by shrinking your threat surface and automating security to prevent incidents that impact operations and financial performance.
- Policy as code governanceEnforce consistent compliance and centralized cost controls across your cloud estate with scalable, automated policy management.
- High availability and auto-remediationDeliver resilient, highly available systems with automation to identify and fix issues before they reach production.
How leading organizations are optimizing cloud operations and ROI
How ILM and SLM work together to optimize cloud operations and ROI
Scaling your hybrid cloud program starts with a programmatic approach to optimization. True optimization is only possible when Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) and Security Lifecycle Management (SLM) work together. They’re inseparable, unifying automation, policy, and protection to deliver consistent efficiency, stronger security, and greater ROI.


Infrastructure Lifecycle Management
With ILM, infrastructure is optimized and cost-controlled through consistent build, deployment, and management workflows using automation and policy as code that remove costly manual steps and human error from the equation.
Security Lifecycle Management
SLM optimizes and standardizes security by inspecting, protecting, and governing the sensitive elements of your cloud infrastructure at every stage, so secrets, access, and service communication stay consistently protected as the infrastructure evolves without costs or risk skyrocketing.
