Thriving in the Cloud with HashiCorp Terraform and Vault

The move to cloud involves a shift in operating model for infrastructure and security. Traditionally we had a relatively static world of dedicated servers, static IP addresses, and a clear network perimeter. In our new reality, we have ephemeral and elastic pools of infrastructure with dynamic IP addresses, and no clear security perimeter.

Join us as we demonstrate how DevOps can utilize HashiCorp Terraform to spin up resources using Infrastructure as Code in a way that is industry agnostic, that even allows developers to provision their own infrastructure via self-service.

We will also cover how HashiCorp Vault provides a different approach to security to mitigate the concerns of our new world, by focusing on securing infrastructure and application services through a trusted source of identity and secrets management.
