HashiCorp and Cisco today announced a Cisco Intersight Service for Terraform offering based on HashiCorp Terraform Cloud Business software. Cisco Intersight is an IT operations management platform that enables IT teams to manage IT infrastructure across a hybrid cloud computing environment.

HashiCorp Terraform Cloud Business is an instance of Terraform that has been extended to include some additional security and governance capabilities enterprise IT organizations typically require.

Vijay Venugopal, head of product management for Cisco Cloud and Compute Software, said the alliance with HashiCorp will make it possible to provide Terraform support across a management portfolio that, over time, continues to be enhanced with machine learning algorithms that add artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, also known as AIOps.

Regardless of how organizations ultimately decide to manage IT in the age of the hybrid cloud, it’s clear developers, thanks to tools such as Terraform, are exercising more direct control over IT infrastructure.
