So they sell orchestration tools for managing server farms, right?

#102Maybe with this IPO they can finally start reviewing terraform PRs again
I doubt it. IPO will be the end of it - original investors will cash out, and the company will be left to slow death.

#103Definitely going to be buying up shares. Love their products and see Vault/TF (among the other products) growing their role in cloud/security.
Can’t I just use Vault and TF free though? I don’t even think they require licensing at some gross revenue threshold… just monetizing through their TF Cloud, which is not compelling.

I would have preferred HCL
I don't know a single person who prefers HCL over literally anything else, but still, it's a happy day for them so I won't air my entitled little complaints and instead say: thank you hashicorp! You made life as a cloud infra beard better for a while, and I wish you all success going onwards.
I've come full circle on this and actually like HCL now. It's so limiting that there's often only one (or a few at most) way to feasibly do something. This is kinda painful when your team is small, but becomes a net-positive in a larger team.

Re: HashiCorp IPO today
#106Other then cashing in equity has anyone found that a IPO has made a place better or worse for the employees? Big fan of Hashicorp products btw
I've seen the opposite, lack of a long promised IPO causing morale problems amongst employees...
If you want to really destroy morale tell your employees you're gonna IPO and then agree to an acquisition instead. Especially if that acquisition results in only a tiny bump in share price. Ask me how I know.

"please buy us with the money!"
Starting to see this a lot, and it makes all the words of encouragement feel fake, because it is always using words like "we" and linking back to their own stuff. It comes off as hollow. nerds: stop bringing your own cake to other people's birthday parties.
> nerds: stop bringing your own cake to other people's birthday parties.
What does this have to do with nerds? Articles like that are probably written by PR staff.

#108Honestly I’m kinda not a huge fan of Hashicorp these days. They’re super late to managed services and they’re incredibly expensive.
What do you mean by incredibly expensive and compared to?

This could read as you being frustrated they're smaller than Amazon

At my company, they don't want to deploy OSS Vault on prem. Apparently we need the enterprise edition, because it is easier for our operations team.
Having used vault quite a lot, I'm not really sold on it. Do you see any value in this tool? I've done the whole sidecar mess, middle of the night three keys unlock like we're arming a nuclear weapon and everything, and most of the time it's just been a total faff and imo security theatre vs actual security. End of the day, the secrets are being written to a .properties file or /proc/ /env somewhere anyway and can be…
I have been curious about this, too. I think I'd want something like vault to issue OTPs that can be exchanged for secrets over a socket to a sidecar, where the OTP is made available as an environment variable set by the orchestrator (eg k8s). If the token is used twice, lock it all down. If it's read but not confirmed to have been received by the service (through some method... dunno), lock it down.
Thanks for coming to my brain dump.
