A fully managed platform to automate infrastructure on any cloud with HashiCorp products. From maturity to security, take a closer look at the networking and service mesh trends uncovered in the new HashiCorp State of Cloud Strategy Survey.

It turns out that service mesh — and service mesh as a service — is a surprisingly high priority for many organizations, though most are not yet ready to run large production environments of a service mesh.

This number makes it clear that service mesh is full of amazing capabilities, but we cannot assume that all environments will go all-in on a service mesh. Part of HashiCorp’s goal in creating Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS) is to give users a way to add automation to non-service-mesh environments using Consul as a centralized source of truth for application information and HashiCorp Terraform’s robust provider ecosystem. That’s important because 47% of the non-mesh-using respondents still noted that deficiencies in skills and staffing and having to deal with manual processes were hindering their cloud networking initiatives. CTS helps alleviate some of those concerns by reducing the need for ticketing systems and accelerating the delivery lifecycle in a secure and automated way.
