I know people hear Hashicorp and instantly think Terraform, but Vault is the real crown jewel here.
Long live OpenBao
RIP, wanted to implement that, but fuck it. Last time I needed to list versions of IBM MQ (contractor uses it, so I had to replicate it in local env) - and I fucking couldn’t. How can someone make such a dumb fucking website is beyond me.
…was.
IBM: Hi guys. Can I be relevant again? Guys? Guys hello… Hello?
RedHat and Hashicorp under IBM. Hmm, that doesn’t bode well for the future.
Fffffffffffuuuuuuuu
Damn, iirc someone (forgot who) actually called it at the beginning of terraform debacle, though it was redhat instead of ibm, but close enough.
IBM owns Red Hat
Well, Redhat is owned by IBM now so basically spot on
hashicorp’s APIs will be right at home at IBM. Right along with HCL. not a fan of either but have been forced to use them. this might bode well for my future if a pending license change is coming.
Just as we were building out our terraform deployments… Not a good omen.
Nah, you now have OpenTofu deployments.
RIP terraform
Long live OpenTofu!
So let me get this straight: Hashicorp gets private equity’d, changes its license to be a rentseeker against Amazon and Google, and now sells itself to the OG rentseeker.
What the fuck happened to open source?
I would argue “open source”. I’ve paid attention to hashicorp for a while. They were always about “getting that bag”. Open source was a means to their ends.
Something was fucky with them since day 1 and the fact many companies were openly using alpha software on production environments (my work included). Always rubbed me the wrong way.
For good open source look at apps like Zabbix.
They missed April fools by about a month
