HashiCorp has raised $100 million in Series D funding
Hello, I'm one of the founders of HashiCorp! We're super excited about this. I'm really proud of the team that got us to this point, thankful to our communities, and just generally excited about the future for us.The project that really kicked off HashiCorp was Vagrant, and I "launched" it right here on HN over 8 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1175901 So its always fun to see things come back around. :) For those that are less familiar these days, HashiCorp now has many major OSS projects: Vagrant, Packer, Consul, Terraform, Vault, Nomad (in addition to lots of minor ones and libraries) addressing different areas.For the HN crowd, there are a couple background viewpoints that I would also like to share that may be helpful on painting the backdrop on the product and business behind HashiCorp. A first quick one is my tweet on the four dimensions for "multi-cloud": https://twitter.com/mitchellh/status/1022162653618135040 At HashiCorp we're mostly looking at enabling #1 (workflow portability), though that has downstream effects of helping with the other dimensions as well.Second, I often get asked "Why multi-cloud?" And I wrote up a fairly long answer on Reddit about that with real examples that I recommend: https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/91afzz/why_multiclo...While I'm happy to answer any questions, this post is rather late for me local time (past 10:30 PM here) and I'm leaving tomorrow to get married this weekend so I can't promise anything!
