The release of the Hashicorp Cloud Platform (HCP) Vault, HashiCorp’s popular secrets security management tool as a cloud service, represents the company’s latest installment as part of its ambition to meet cloud native deployment and management requirements through a single platform. To this end, HashiCorp’s HCP platform now includes its Consul service mesh and Terraform, as well as Vault.

As a solution, according to HashiCorp, HCP Vault should thus help to reduce the time and complexity of allocating secrets access for Amazon Web Services deployments (Kent said “stay tuned” when asked when HCP Vault would become available on Azure and Google Cloud).

Vault running on HCP is fully managed by HashiCorp and secures your infrastructure through a single interface to control access to all of your sensitive data and systems,” Kent said.

For pricing, HashiCorp communicated the following options for HCP Vault: Both HCP Consul and HCP Vault are now available on AWS, following on a previous promise to make HCP available for Azure and GCP (without disclosing an exact timeline).
