Open-source tools

HashiCorp provides a suite of open source tools intended to support development and deployment of large-scale service-oriented software installations. Each tool is aimed at specific stages in the life cycle of a software application, with a focus on automation. Many have a plugin-oriented architecture in order to provide integration with third-party technologies and services.^[6] Additional proprietary features for some of these tools are offered commercially and are aimed at enterprise customers.^[7]

The main product line consists of these following tools:^[2]^[6]

Vagrant, supporting the building and maintenance of reproducible software development environments via virtualization technology.
Packer, a tool for building virtual machine images for later deployment.
Terraform, infrastructure as code software which enables provisioning and adapting virtual infrastructure across all major cloud providers.

Vault^[7], which provides secrets management, identity-based access, and encrypting application data for auditing of secrets for applications, systems, users.
