Automate infrastructure lifecycle management with Red Hat and HashiCorp

HashiCorp and Red Hat are key partners offering solutions like Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and Vault for secrets management. Together they provide comprehensive automation and security across hybrid cloud environments.

Overview
Ansible + Terraform for automating the cloud

HashiCorp Terraform is a key component for infrastructure provisioning as Infrastructure as Code, handling the Day 0 build and deployment of cloud infrastructure and services. Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform complements this by excelling in Configuration as Code and operational management, Day 1 and Day 2 operations, configuration management, application deployment, health checks, patching, and incident response.

HashiCorp Vault further strengthens this partnership by providing identity-based security and centralized secrets management. Ansible Automation Platform can deploy and configure Vault agents, and then use Vault to securely manage access credentials and certificates for various IT domains, including cloud, virtualization, network, and operating systems. This integration supports security-focused and compliant automation by providing dynamic, time-limited credentials and a single source of truth for sensitive data.

End-to-end infrastructure lifecycle management

Terraform handles Day 0 provisioning (Infrastructure as Code), while Ansible Automation Platform takes over for Day 1+ configuration and Day 2 operations like patching and drift remediation. This creates a seamless, automated pipeline from infrastructure creation to ongoing management.

Security-focused, scalable automation

Integrating HashiCorp Vault with Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat OpenShift centralizes secrets management and enables time-bound access to credentials. This reduces risk and supports compliance across environments.

Unified governance across hybrid environments

By using solutions from Red Hat with HashiCorp together, organizations can enforce Policy as Code, access control, and compliance auditing and remediation consistently across on-premise and cloud infrastructure. This unified governance model reduces risk, simplifies audits, and ensures that infrastructure changes are both compliant and traceable from provisioning to decommissioning.
