HashiCorp

On 29 November 2021, HashiCorp set terms for its IPO at 15.3 million shares at $68-$72 at a valuation of $13 billion.[8]

HashiCorp considers their 1,500 workers to be remote workers first rather than coming into an office on a full time basis.[9]

HashiCorp was founded by Mitchell Hashimoto and Armon Dadgar

HashiCorp provides a suite of tools intended to support the development and deployment of large-scale service-oriented software installations. Each tool is aimed at specific stages in the life cycle of a software application, with a focus on automation. Many have a plugin-oriented architecture in order to provide integration with third-party technologies and services.[10] Additional proprietary features for some of these tools are offered commercially and are aimed at enterprise customers.[11]

The main product line consists of the following tools:[3][10]

• Vagrant (first released in 2010[12]): supports the building and maintenance of reproducible software-development environments via virtualization technology.
• Packer (first released in June 2013[13][14]): a tool for building virtual-machine images for later deployment.
• Terraform (first released in July 2014): infrastructure as code software which enables provisioning and adapting virtual infrastructure across all major cloud providers.
• Consul (first released in April 2014[15][10]): provides service mesh, DNS-based service discovery, distributed KV storage, RPC, and event propagation. The underlying event, membership, and failure-detection mechanisms are provided by Serf, an open-source library also published by HashiCorp.
• Vault (first released in April 2015[16]): provides secrets management, identity-based access, encrypting application data and auditing of secrets for applications, systems, and users.[11]
• Nomad (released in September 2015[17]): supports scheduling and deployment of tasks across worker nodes in a cluster.
• Serf (first released in 2013): a decentralized cluster membership, failure detection, and orchestration software product.[18]
• Sentinel (first released in 2017[19][20]): a policy as code framework for HashiCorp products.[21]
• Boundary (first released in October 2020[22]): provides secure remote access to systems based on trusted identity.
• Waypoint (first released in October 2020[23]): provides a modern workflow to build, deploy, and release across platforms.

Around April 2021, a supply chain attack using code auditing tool codecov allowed hackers limited access to HashiCorp's customers networks.[24] As a result, private credentials were leaked. HashiCorp revoked a private signing key and asked its customers to use a new rotated key.
