There have been plenty of exciting announcements from this year’s HashiConf digital conferences — including the introduction of the HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) and the announcements during HashiConf Digital 2020 of Consul for AWS and Vault for AWS. Last but not least, the addition of two new products: HashiCorp Boundary which provides a zero-trust access solution for the cloud and HashiCorp Waypoint which is used for building, deploying, and releasing.

This allows organizations to streamline their process of creating new networking resources for cloud teams and facilitates rapid, secure development of cloud infrastructure.

Waypoint helps with this by providing a way to develop a modern workflow for deployments on a variety of platforms including Amazon EC2, HashiCorp Nomad, Google Cloud Run, and Kubernetes.

One drawback of HashiCorp Vault, outlined in our comparison of secrets managers articles for GCP and AWS is the operational overhead associated with deploying it.
