Overview

HashiCorp offers a bunch of tools for doing DevOps, design with interop in mind - forming somewhat of an ecosystem. Most of the tooling is provided in a SaaS format via HashiCorp Cloud Platform, HCP for short.

Tooling

• terraform - IaC tool, configures everything else.
• vault - secret storage and encryption provider.
• nomad - orchestration tool (think k8s or swarm).
• vagrant - vm tooling, imagine wrappers around virtualbox or qemu - or docker with vms.
• consul - service discovery, communication encryption, networking automation, ingress/egress centralization, distributed kv storage - alternative to stuff included in k8s.
• packer - like docker build but with terraform.
