General News: All About Hash(iconf)
- HashiCorp Consul is now available in public beta while Vault is available in private beta. We’re hesitant to trust anything from HashiCorp.
- Terraform 0.14 is now available in beta and includes feature improvements in security, visibility and stability. Justin looks forward to the upgrade that breaks everything later this year.
- HashiCorp Consul 1.9 introduces new service mesh visualization tools. Pretty minor but cool!
- HashiCorp launches Boundary for simple and secure remote access based on trusted identity. We see huge potential in this.
- HashiCorp launches Waypoint, a new open source project that provides developers a consistent workflow. These types of announcements are a dagger through Ryan’s heart.
- HashiCorp introduces Consul Terraform Sync, a new tool for automating network infrastructure. Really powerful but really packed in a way we don’t understand.
