HashiCorp Releases Terraform Enterprise Module Registry, a Service Catalog to Enable Self-Serve Infrastructure Across Multiple CloudsSAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HashiCorp, a leader in cloud infrastructure automation, today released the HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise Module Registry, a service catalog that provides a self-service workflow to provision any infrastructure. This service catalog allows IT operators to codify, collaborate, and publish modular templates for provisioning cloud infrastructure that can be used by developers or other operators across large organizations. Organizations using the Terraform Enterprise Module Registry can have IT operators serve as experienced “producers,” who create the infrastructure templates, or as “consumers,” who can easily provision infrastructure following best practices by using pre-built modules. Barclays Hosting CTO Kieran Broadfoot said: “We continually focus on building DevOps practices that will enhance the workflow for our infrastructure and developer teams. HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise enables our team of infrastructure operators to codify, collaborate, and automate infrastructure provisioning for our cloud-based and private infrastructure. The HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise Module Registry enables our centralized team of infrastructure experts to codify, version, and publish approved modules that can be easily reused by other parts of the organization.” Terraform is broadly used among the Global 2000 to address the challenge of infrastructure provisioning as organizations adopt cloud and deal with heterogeneity and scale. Terraform Enterprise focuses on addressing challenges to scale provisioning practices across an organization while still maintaining the necessary guardrails for compliance, security, and operational excellence. At HashiConf 2017, HashiCorp introduced the Terraform Module Registry, an open service catalog for users to publish and use community modules. Since its release, the Terraform Module Registry has gained significant traction with the open source community and partners. Nearly 80 different providers have modules available and some of those modules have been downloaded tens of thousands of times. The introduction of the producer and consumer model for infrastructure has made infrastructure provisioning more accessible, and the Terraform Enterprise Module Registry will enable that same model for enterprise organizations globally. “We see more and more organizations moving workloads to run on cloud infrastructure. Operators must figure out how to provision cloud infrastructure while also efficiently deivering self-service infrastructure for developers,” said Armon Dadgar, founder and co-CTO of HashiCorp. “Terraform Enterprise enables a team of operators to collaborate on infrastructure. The combination of Terraform’s key capabilities -- Workspace management, GUI-based collaboration workflows, and the new Terraform Enterprise Module Registry -- enable teams to codify, validate, provision, and publish modular infrastructure for any cloud.” “We see organizations challenged where a small team of IT operators are tasked with providing infrastructure to an ever larger team of developers and operators. At the same time, they need to meet the requirements of supporting hybrid cloud environments, spanning both private cloud and multiple cloud service providers,” said Dan Conde, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. “Addressing infrastructure heterogeneity and scale is the key to doing this successfully. An operator can write 10 modules for commonly used infrastructure and essentially unblock hundreds of developers. This becomes even more valuable when dealing with multi-cloud architectures -- build those 10 infrastructure modules for each cloud and now developers can also choose to use the right cloud provider that supports the application framework, performance, security, or elasticity needs.” The Terraform Enterprise Module Registry enables customers to:
