HashiCorp commits to deeper integration across the IBM and Red Hat portfolios, including integrations with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat OpenShift, and support for the IBM Z Mainframe<\/strong><\/p>\n

At HashiDays London, its first international user conference as an IBM company, HashiCorp unveiled the vision for partnering with IBM to shape the future of hybrid cloud automation. Despite widespread adoption, most enterprises have not reached cloud maturity \u2014 out of the 94% using cloud services, only 20% are receiving full ROI. IBM estimates that one billion new AI applications will emerge by 2028, driving greater cloud complexity and forcing enterprises to make critical decisions about their hybrid cloud strategies. Together with IBM\u2019s software automation portfolio, HashiCorp is delivering the automated hybrid cloud platform that unifies infrastructure and security workflows, reduces complexity, and enhances visibility and control.
\nAt HashiDays London, HashiCorp announced new products and integrations that expand the capabilities of its Infrastructure Cloud across Infrastructure and Security Lifecycle Management (ILM and SLM) to help organizations automate hybrid infrastructure delivery, reduce operational risk, and improve security posture throughout the entire application lifecycle.
\n\u00abI\u2019m excited to welcome our global community to HashiDays 2025, where we are sharing our vision for how HashiCorp and IBM will work together to build an automated hybrid cloud platform,\u201d said Armon Dadgar, CTO and Co-Founder, HashiCorp. \u201cWith this vision, we\u2019ll deliver a unified control plane that powers hybrid applications, embedding policy, automation, and observability into every layer of the stack, so enterprises can modernize securely, streamline operations, and unlock AI-driven automation at scale.\u201d
\nFor more than 10 years, HashiCorp has helped thousands of customers across every geography and industry do cloud right. At HashiDays, customers from EMEA and APAC, including Booking.com, BT Group, Helvetia Insurance, HTX, InfoCert, shiftavenue, Trust Bank, SPH Media, and more, shared stories of how they manage cloud infrastructure and security with HashiCorp.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure Lifecycle Management<\/strong>
\nAs customers scale their hybrid strategies with IBM and HashiCorp, Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) continues to be a foundational priority. From building landing zones to enabling secure Day 2+ automation, organizations are using ILM to drive faster delivery and infrastructure resilience across teams and environments.<\/p>\n

Helvetia Insurance | How Terraform supported an ambitious cloud migration<\/strong>
\nFounded in 1858 and headquartered in St. Gallen, Switzerland, Helvetia Insurance Group is a major player in the European insurance market. A few years ago, the cloud enablement team started a complete migration from on-premises datacenters to the public cloud. The ambitious goal: move 200 applications to AWS and Azure within one year. Using HashiCorp Terraform, Helvetia\u2019s cloud enablement team created landing zones \u2014 fully configured cloud accounts with connectivity and policies \u2014 for its internal product teams. They then collaborated with a partner to build modules for hardened virtual machines and other critical resources allowing them to follow a lift-and-shift approach, expediting the migration without sacrificing security or governance. \u00abTerraform was instrumental in achieving our migration goals. Without it, moving 200 applications in about a year would have been impossible. Our teams now have the tools to work faster and with greater confidence,\u00bb said Matthias Mertens, Cloud Solution Architect, Helvetia Insurance.
\nHashiCorp\u2019s ILM capabilities help platform and operations teams accelerate delivery, enforce policy, and optimize infrastructure from Day 0 to Day N.<\/p>\n

Those announcements expand support for secure, policy-enforced infrastructure delivery with new features across Terraform, Packer, Nomad, and Waypoint. These updates automate critical workflows that improve team productivity and infrastructure resilience throughout the full lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Build:<\/strong> Define and provision infrastructure in a standardized, scalable way to avoid configuration drift and manual rework.
\n\u2022 Terraform ephemeral resources (GA): Protect sensitive values from persisting in state files
\n\u2022 Sentinel policy library for AWS (GA): Enforce secure-by-default configurations with pre-written policies
\n\u2022 Terraform + Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform: Enable orchestration of complex infrastructure workflows with end-to-end infrastructure as code<\/p>\n

Deploy:<\/strong> Enable repeatable, secure, and policy-aligned delivery of applications and environments.
\n\u2022 HCP Waypoint actions (GA): Offer Day 2+ lifecycle workflows like rollback and restart, exposed through UI or CLI, to provide an internal developer platform that shields users from the underlying infrastructure complexity<\/p>\n

Manage:<\/strong> Monitor, update, and deprecate infrastructure components securely and efficiently across teams and environments.
\n\u2022 HCP module revocation: Prevent use of revoked modules in HCP Terraform as part of module lifecycle management
\n\u2022 HCP Terraform Premium SKU: Unlock advanced governance and private VCS support
\n\u2022 Dynamic host volumes (Nomad): Enable more flexible, scalable provisioning of persistent storage across Nomad clients, essential for stateful workloads that require resilient storage operations in dynamic environments
\n\u2022 Terraform provider for IBM Z: Empower organizations to integrate their mainframe platforms into modern workflows and hybrid cloud strategies<\/p>\n

Security Lifecycle Management<\/strong>
\nAs organizations modernize their infrastructure, their security surface area grows, along with the need to continuously inspect, protect, and govern sensitive data. Security Lifecycle Management (SLM) ensures that identity-based security, secrets management, and access governance are built directly into hybrid workflows, rather than bolted on after deployment.<\/p>\n

IG Group | Strengthened security while accelerating delivery with HCP Vault<\/strong>
\n\u201cAs a security leader, my job is to reduce risk for my company without slowing down our development teams,\u201d said Andrew Blooman, Platform Security Team Lead, IG Group. \u201cOver the past few years, HashiCorp has helped us achieve these goals as we adopted multiple products for a number of use cases. We started with Community Edition versions of Vault, Nomad, and Consul, used HashiCorp Professional Services to accelerate this deployment, and added HCP Vault this year. We now have 63 teams onboarded to HCP Vault, with a centralized GitOps workflow allowing for version control, change approvals, and an audit log of newly onboarded teams.\u201d
\nHashiCorp\u2019s SLM capabilities help security and compliance teams safeguard sensitive data, enforce access policies, and maintain governance from Day 0 through Day N. These updates provide proactive tools for visibility, access control, and cryptographic assurance across hybrid environments, and reflect continued investment in helping teams move faster without compromising control.<\/p>\n
