Hashicorp Cloud Platform (homepage)

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. We’re always excited to have women leaders on the show. Tell us a little bit about your background and your focus areas at Hashicorp. Congrats on the UGA National Championship.

Topic 2 - Let’s talk about the Hashicorp Cloud Platform. We’ve covered Hashicorp software for years. How did HCP come about, and how has it changed how Hashicorp thinks about what you’re building (software vs. cloud services)?

Topic 3 - To create a cloud service out of an existing Hashicorp product (e.g. Terraform or Vault), does it just require creating an SRE team to run it, or do you have to rethink how the technologies are built and operated?

Topic 4 - How have Hashicorp customers adapted to consuming cloud services vs. running the software themselves? Sometimes the cloud services have to be more restrictive to deliver SLAs.

Topic 5 - Are you able to do anything unique in the cloud(s) that you couldn’t do as software products? Does multi-cloud provide any unique opportunities?

Topic 6 - Are you finding any new ways to interact with your communities now that Hashicorp is offering cloud services?
