“Running applications on cloud infrastructure helps enterprises transform their businesses, but creates challenges from infrastructure complexity, skills shortages, and the new types of security threats they face,” said Armon Dadgar, co-founder and CTO of HashiCorp. “Our customers and community in Asia-Pacific have been asking us for help to make it easier to get started with and to operate our products. With the HashiCorp Cloud Platform, we do the heavy lifting for them, making it much simpler for customers to get up and running with our products. We expect HCP to help organizations across the region to more quickly achieve their digital transformation initiatives.”
For enterprises working to deliver the business value of cloud but struggling with these skills and staffing shortages, HashiCorp products on HCP are designed to minimize operational burden, and allow organizations to focus on feature delivery and subsequently deliver more value to the business faster.
HCP enables faster and more flexible deployments of fully managed Consul and Vault offerings, with a vision to deliver managed offerings for all HashiCorp products across all cloud providers, enabling a consistent workflow to effectively operate multi-cloud environments. The HashiCorp Cloud Platform is available with initial support on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
“We are pleased to support HCP Consul and HCP Vault on AWS,” said Deepak Singh, vice president, compute services, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Customers can immediately realize automation benefits with HCP Consul, a production-ready, fully managed service mesh solution, which will help users to connect and secure connections between AWS workloads faster and with fewer resources via push-button deployment of fully managed clusters pre-configured for development and production.”

Together, HCP Vault and HCP Consul are key pieces of a zero trust security approach to cloud management and operations. HashiCorp enables zero trust security by placing trusted identity at the core of critical pieces of modern security automation: machine authentication and authorization, machine-to-machine access, human authentication and authorization, and human-to-machine access.
Customer Adoption
The Warehouse Group is the largest retail group in New Zealand with six core brands and 250+ stores. As part of an initiative to digitally transform and improve time to market, they chose to leverage the power of HCP Vault to automate cloud security.
“By using a solution which helps manage, store, and access the secrets for the workloads on cloud, we were able to reduce the overhead and complexity which otherwise needs DevOps expertise,” said Matt Law, Chapter Lead, DevOps, The Warehouse Group. “HCP Vault’s zero effort readiness and ease of use made cloud security automation simple for The Warehouse Group.”
