Podcasts about HashiCorp

SaaS companies were traditionally measured on how many years it took to achieve $100M ARR - a key milestone! In today's brave new world of AI, this milestone is now measured in MONTHS. Dave "CAC" Kellogg and Ray "Growth" Rike highlight discuss this new AI growth metric in today's episode with many examples including:LovableCursorWizBoltAnthropicOpenAIDave and Ray discuss how these new hypergrowth AI-Native companies compare to some of the fastest growing traditional SaaS companies including DocuSign, Atlassian, Box, HashiCorp, Zoom and Slack.The Metrics Brothers then dive a little deeper into the details of the "months to $100M" to discuss WHEN does that clock begin to tick, at launch or at $1M ARR? They then go beyond just AI and discuss how Product-Led Growth was once viewed as a key to accelerating growth to $100M and where the reality meets the expectations.Lastly, CAC and Growth discuss one example of a fast growing AI company that could not quite sustain the early growth trajectory that was greatly helped by the hype and the hope of AI - a cautionary tale for other high flyers or just an interesting data point?Take a listen to this episode if you are involved, interested or evaluating how growth rate expectations for software companies in the new era of software!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I share how IBM has built a $7.5 billion GenAI business in just 18 months, transforming everything from mainframes to consulting under the bold leadership of CEO Arvind Krishna.Highlights00:13 — IBM last week reported its Q2 numbers. Very impressive. I thought one of the most interesting points was that in just 18 months, IBM has built up a GenAI business with a revenue run rate of $7.5 billion. And that GenAI impact is cutting across IBM's entire, huge product portfolio, everything from mainframes to software to consulting.01:00 —This is a company that's 114 years young. And if you were to stack up all the startups or companies of any age that launched AI businesses within the last 18 months, I wonder how many of those would now have revenue of $7.5 billion. But IBM is right there, smack in the middle of that business. Krishna said GenAI's sparking growth in everything — even with mainframes.02:16 — And on the software level, Krishna said that this new rise of the AI products within IBM are helping to improve products it currently has, like Apptio, Turbonomic, and HashiCorp, adding additional value to them. Now, one area where Krishna said there could be a little bit of cannibalization is in the broad area of consulting.03:29 — This is all another sign of the remarkable job that Arvind Krishna has done in his five years now as the CEO at IBM. It's hard to recall, as well as the company's doing now and the innovation that's underway, what a mess it was five years ago when Krishna took over. IBM now has a fantastic portfolio of partnerships with many of the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies.04:30 — So again, a big turnover here in the products, the technologies that come to use, how it goes to market, and the culture that it takes out to clients to let them know: We at IBM are very happy to bring together the best of the best companies in the world to drive new value for those clients. So hats off to IBM. Very nice quarter. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

I had the opportunity to speak with Dinesh Nirmal, Senior Vice President, IBM Software, and dive into a conversation that felt both timely and necessary.As GenAI continues to evolve—today it's agents, tomorrow it may be something entirely new—many companies are asking where to start. Dinesh made one thing clear: if your data is ready, you're ready for whatever comes next. That means not just storing data, but ensuring it's accessible, governed, and secure.We spoke about the latest in IBM watsonx.data—especially how it's tackling the challenges of unstructured data. From new features to ecosystem partnerships, IBM is doubling down on helping enterprises access, manage, and secure data more efficiently.In a crowded AI and data landscape, I asked Dinesh what truly sets IBM apart. His perspective? It's the combination of decades of enterprise expertise and a clear focus on being first, only, or best in the areas that matter most.We also unpacked IBM's commitment to being hybrid and open—and why that matters. Whether it's through Red Hat or integrations with tools like HashiCorp, IBM's approach is built for the complexity of real-world enterprise IT.More from this conversation will be shared soon. Until then—how are you preparing your data foundation for what's next?#data #ai #ibm #agents #IBMPartner #Think2025 #TheRavitShow

In this episode, Scott chats with Preeti Somal, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Temporal, to explore how teams at OpenAI, Stripe, Netflix, and beyond are building long-running, crash-proof applications using Temporal's open‑source durable execution engine. Drawing on her leadership roles at HashiCorp, Yahoo!, and VMware, Preeti breaks down the orchestration challenges in today's AI‑powered agentic architectures, shares how platform engineering, culture, and developer experience interact, and explains the feedback loops that drive platform improvement. She also offers a dive into resilience patterns like retries, state management, and sagas, and shares lessons on scaling engineering organizations through rapid growth. 

The Daytona founders - Ivan Burazin and Vedran Jukic - discuss their pivot to an AI agent cloud. We dig into the new infrastructure requirements of developing agents that need their own sandboxes to operate in.A year ago, we had them on to talk about Daytona giving us remote development environments for humans, and they have now pivoted the company to focusing on providing cloud hosting environments for AI agents to operate.I suspect this is something we're all gonna eventually need to tackle as we work to automate more of our software engineering. So we spend time breaking down the concepts and the real world needs of humans developing agents, and then the needs of AI that require places to run their own tools in code.Check out the video podcast version here https://youtu.be/l8LBqDUwtV8Creators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Bret Fisher - Host Beth Fisher - Producer Ivan Burazin - Guest Vedran Jukic - Guest You can also support my content by subscribing to my YouTube channel and my weekly newsletter at bret.news!Grab the best coupons for my Docker and Kubernetes courses.Join my cloud native DevOps community on Discord.Grab some merch at Bret's Loot BoxHomepage bretfisher.com (00:00) - Intro (06:08) - Daytona's Sandbox Technology (12:57) - Practical Applications and Use Cases (14:29) - Security and Isolation in AI Agents (17:59) - Start Up Times for Sandboxing and Kubernetes (22:51) - Daytona vs Lambda (31:06) - Rogue Models and Isolation (34:54) - Humanless Operations and the Future of DevOps (47:17) - SDK vs MCP (50:15) - Human in the Loop (51:13) - Daytona: Open Source vs Product Offering

After going over the full Hashicorp tale in the last few episodes, let's recap and see why exactly it is so incredibly difficult for an successful Open Source project to become a profitable enterprise. Please use the Contact Form on this blog or our twitter feed to send us your questions, or to suggest future episode topics you would like us to cover.

On episode 16 of Open Source Ready, Brian and John sit down with Mitchell Hashimoto, founder of HashiCorp, to discuss his journey after leaving the company and his latest passion project, the open source terminal emulator Ghostty. Mitchell shares the accidental origins of Ghostty, his pragmatic approach to technology, and his thoughts on the current state of open source business models. Lastly, they explore the complexities of AI development and the trade-offs of foundation governance.

À 23 ans, ce français a déjà hacké l'IA de Google. 2 fois. Il vient aussi de faire tomber Netflix, et il s'attaque maintenant au plus gros fléau de notre époque. Un fléau qui a déjà coûté des milliards à l'industrie mondiale. Et ça ne fait que commencer. Car depuis quelques années, les cyber-criminels et autres espions numériques ont changé de stratégie. Ils n'attaquent plus directement leurs cibles. Ils s'attaquent… À leurs “dépendances”. Leurs prestataires. Leurs librairies. Leurs outils. Autant de portes d'entrées numériques qui, une fois corrompues, leur ouvrent béantes les portes de millions d'entreprises. Et les GAFAM ne font pas exceptions. Solarwinds, xz-utils, Bybit… La liste des attaques ne fait que s'allonger. Mais revenons à notre hacker. Roni, pour ne pas le nommer. L'ambition de Roni est simple. Sécuriser la “supply chain” numérique des entreprises du monde entier. Rien que ça. Et le pire… C'est qu'il y arrive. Roni a déjà identifié, avant tout le monde, plusieurs failles critiques qui auraient permis de prendre le contrôle de millions de boîtes. Dont Google. Oui oui, vous avez bien lu. Google. Des failles qu'on ne trouve qu'une fois dans une vie de hacker. Des failles qui se vendraient une fortune sur le dark web. Et Roni les aligne, comme s'il était à la foire.

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some intel being shared in the LimaCharlie community.Microsoft and CrowdStrike have announced a strategic alliance aimed at deconflicting threat actor names across their platforms.A new, anonymous figure calling himself GangExposed has surfaced in the cyber threat landscape, publishing a significant set of internal documents that reveal the identities of top leadership within the Conti and Trickbot ransomware crews.A new supply chain attack targeting the Ruby ecosystem has emerged, leveraging impersonated packages to exfiltrate sensitive data from Telegram communications. Researchers at Wiz have published what appears to be the first confirmed case of active exploitation of misconfigured HashiCorp Nomad servers in the wild, used by attackers to mine Monero cryptocurrency.

Melanie Sumner: Why Continuous Accessibility Is a Strategic AdvantageMelanie Sumner, Product Accessibility Lead for Design Systems at HashiCorp, joins Robby to talk about what it takes to scale accessibility across legacy products—and how aligning design and engineering processes creates lasting change. Melanie shares her work making Ember.js more accessible, her team's philosophy behind their design system, and why she treats accessibility like any other technical concern.From the pitfalls of nested interactive elements to the strengths of Ember's conventions and codemods, this conversation offers a roadmap for integrating accessibility into every layer of product development.Melanie also reflects on why she trademarked the term Continuous Accessibility, how it fits into product lifecycles, and what other frameworks can learn from the Ember community's approach.“Accessibility is a technical problem with a technical solution.”Melanie joins us from Chicago, Illinois.Episode Highlights[00:01:00] What Well-Maintained Software Looks Like: Consistency, purpose, and bridging design and engineering[00:02:30] Building a Unified Design System Across 10+ Legacy Products[00:03:30] Creating Component Requirements Before Design or Code[00:05:00] Designing with Accessibility Defaults—and Providing Bridges for Legacy[00:07:00] How Ember's Conventions Help Scale Front-End Systems[00:09:30] Who Uses Ember—and Why It's a Fit for Teams with Big Requirements[00:13:30] Technical Debt in Design Systems and the Cost of Rushing[00:16:30] How They Future-Proof Components and Avoid Over-Engineering[00:19:00] What “Continuous Accessibility” Means in Practice[00:21:00] Accessibility Testing and the Limits of Automation[00:23:00] Common Accessibility Mistakes: Nested Interactives and Misused DIVs[00:24:30] Keyboard Navigation as a Litmus Test[00:26:00] Text Adventure Games and Accessibility as a Playable Experience[00:28:30] The Origin of Her Accessibility Journey at UNC Chapel Hill[00:31:00] Why She Avoids Framing Accessibility in Emotional Terms[00:32:45] Compliance as a Business Driver for Accessibility[00:35:00] Open Source Work on Testing Rules Across Frameworks[00:38:00] The Navigation API and Fixing Single-Page App Accessibility[00:40:30] HTML's Forgiveness and the Illusion of “Good Enough”[00:43:00] Advice for Engineers Advocating for Accessibility Without Authority[00:46:45] Book Recommendation: Cradle Series by Will Wight[00:48:30] Where to Follow Melanie: melanie.codesLinks and ResourcesMelanie's WebsiteHelios Design System at HashiCorpCradle Series by Will WightEmber Community SurveyA11y Automation GitHub ProjectAxe-coreFollow Melanie:GitHubLinkedInThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!

Welcome to episode 296 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! Today is a twofer – Justin and Ryan are in the house to make sure you don't miss out on any of today's important cloud and AI news. From AI Protection, to Google Next, to Amazon Q Developer, we've got it all, this week on TCP!  Titles we almost went with this week: Amazon Step Functions, walks step by step into my IDE Deepseek seeks the truth of “is it serverless or servers”?  Well Architected Reviews by AI… What will my solutions architects do now?  The cloud pod hosts steps over the Azure EU Data Boundary BYOIP to ALBs… only years too late for everyone. A big thanks to this week's sponsor: We're sponsorless! Want to get your brand, company, or service in front of a very enthusiastic group of cloud news seekers? You've come to the right place! Send us an email or hit us up on our slack channel for more info.  General News  01:02 HashiCorp and Red Hat, better together  Hashicorp has more details on its future, with the recent IBM acquisition in this blog post.  They talk about the wide range of Day 2 operations, including things like drift detection, image management and patching, rightsizing, and configuration management.   As Red Hat Ansible is a purpose built operational management platform, it makes it easier to properly configure resources after the initial creation, but also to evolve the configuration after setup, and then execute ad-hoc playbooks to keep things running reliably and more securely at scale.  Some additional things they're exploring, now that the acquisition has closed: Red Hat Ansible Inventory generated dynamically by Terraform.  Official Terraform modules for Redhat Ansible, making it easier to trigger terraform from Ansible Playbooks. Redhat and Hashicorp officially support the Red Hat Ansible Provider for Terraform, making it easier to trigger Ansible from Terraform. Evolving Terraform provisioners to support a more comprehensive set of lifecycle integrations. Improved mechanisms to invoke Ansible Playbooks outside of the resource provisioning lifecycle Customers – not surprisingly – regularly integrate Vault and Openshift, and they have identified dozens of connection points that can add value, including: Vault Secrets Operator for OpenShift Etcd data encryption  Argo CI/CD Istio Certificate issuance 01:48 Justin – “That's a lot of promise for Ansible there, that I'm not sure it completely lives up to…” 07:09

AI agents are set to transform software development, but software itself isn't going anywhere—despite the dramatic predictions. On this episode of The New Stack Makers, Mark Hinkle, CEO and Founder of Peripety Labs, discusses how AI agents relate to serverless technologies, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), and configuration management. Hinkle envisions AI agents as “dumb robots” handling tasks like querying APIs and exchanging data, while the real intelligence remains in large language models (LLMs). These agents, likely implemented as serverless functions in Python or JavaScript, will automate software development processes dynamically. LLMs, leveraging vast amounts of open-source code, will enable AI agents to generate bespoke, task-specific tools on the fly—unlike traditional cloud tools from HashiCorp or configuration management tools like Chef and Puppet. As AI-generated tooling becomes more prevalent, managing and optimizing these agents will require strong observability and evaluation practices. According to Hinkle, this shift marks the future of software, where AI agents dynamically create, call, and manage tools for CI/CD, monitoring, and beyond. Check out the full episode for more insights. Learn more from The New Stack about emerging trends in AI agents: Lessons From Kubernetes and the Cloud Should Steer the AI RevolutionAI Agents: Why Workflows Are the LLM Use Case to Watch Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game. 

Welcome to episode 295 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy!  Welp, it's sayonara to Skype – and time to finally make the move to Teams. Hashi has officially moved to IBM, GPT 4.5 is out and people have…thoughts. Plus, Google has the career coach you need to make all your dreams come true.* *Assuming those dreams are reasonable in a volatile economy.  Titles we almost went with this week: Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the cloud dreamers, and Me  Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer You may say I’m a cloud dreamer, but I’m not the only one May the skype shut down Q can tell me that my python skills are bad How many free code assistance does Ryan need to be a good developer: ALL OF THEM Oops honey I spent 1M dollars on oracle Latest Cloud Pod Reviews: “It’s a Lemon” A big thanks to this week's sponsor: We're sponsorless!

Really.  May 5th is the official last day of Skype, and they've indicated you can continue your calls and chats in Teams.  Starting now, you should be able to use your Skype login to get into Teams.  For those of you who do this, you'll see all your existing contacts and chats in Teams.  Alternatively, you can export your Skype data, specifically contacts, call history and chats.  Current subscribers to Skype Premium services will remain active until the end, but you will not be able to sign up for Skype at this time.  Skype dial pad credits will remain active in the web interface and inside Teams after May 5th so you can finish using those credits.  03:37 Matthew  – “I think there’s a lot of people and, you know, at least people I know in other countries to still use Skype, like pretty heavily for like cross country communications, things along those lines. So I think a lot of that is that there probably is still a good amount of people using it. And this is just, Hey, they’re trying to make it nicely. So how, you know, nice and clean cut over for people versus, you know, the Apple method of it just doesn’t work anymore. Good luck.” 04:41 HashiCorp officially joins the IBM family  IBM has finished the acquisition of HashiCorp, which they had announced last year. Armon Dadgar wrote a blog post reflecting on the journey that Hashicorp has been on; he talks about the future and that his goal is to have Hashicorp in every datacenter.

We talk about current events, the acquisition of data stacks and the closing of the HashiCorp acquisition by IBM. Later, we dive into the productivity of AI and what's going on - are companies really getting the benefits that they expect from AI chat bot integrations and what the challenges are? We touch base on a little bit of something more infrastructure focused, where I give a preview of work I've been doing on separating Kubernetes virtualization from Kubernetes development use cases, which is something that we will be talking about more in the future.

Apple has decided to remove its advanced data protection tool in the United Kingdom following a government request for access to user data. This tool, which provided end-to-end encryption for sensitive items like photos and documents, is now unavailable to new users, and existing users will lose access soon. The move has drawn criticism from privacy advocates who view it as a significant threat to individual privacy and online security. Experts warn that this could set a precedent for other governments to demand similar concessions from tech companies, potentially exposing sensitive data to breaches and overreach.In the tech sector, CEO confidence has surged to its highest level in three years, according to a recent survey. Despite this optimism, many executives express concerns about geopolitical instability and its potential impact on their businesses. Additionally, a notable decline in the percentage of CEOs planning to expand their workforce indicates a cautious approach to investment and growth, even amidst a recovering sentiment. This cautious outlook raises questions about whether increased CEO confidence will translate into higher spending on technology and digital transformation.The cloud computing sector has seen a remarkable increase in merger and acquisition activity, with cloud-related deals totaling $61 billion last year, marking a 221% growth compared to the previous year. This surge in demand for cloud services has contributed to a broader increase in global deal value, despite challenges such as inflation and high interest rates. Notable transactions include Blackstone's acquisition of Airtrunk for $16 billion and IBM's purchase of HashiCorp for $6.4 billion, highlighting the ongoing trend of consolidation in the tech industry.Ingram Micro has merged its Small and Medium Business Alliance and Trust-X Alliance partner communities under the Trust-X Alliance brand, aiming to enhance collaboration and technical expertise among its members. While this merger could provide more resources and support for partners, there are concerns that smaller businesses may feel excluded from the elite program. The consolidation of budgets raises questions about whether this will lead to innovative ideas or simply cost savings for Ingram, emphasizing the need for ongoing observation of the impact on smaller managed service providers. Three things to know today00:00 Big Moves in Tech: CEOs Feel Optimistic, Cloud M&A Hits $61B, and Cybersecurity Jobs Vanish04:44 Apple Removes Encryption in the UK—Is This Just the Beginning?06:13 No More Text Code Logins—Google Moves Gmail to QR-Based Security07:25 Ingram Micro Merges Partner Groups—More Expertise, but at What Cost? Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://timezest.com/mspradio/  Event: : https://www.nerdiocon.com/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

We spoke to Will Bengtson (VP of Security Operations at HashiCorp) bout the realities of cloud incident response and detection. From root credentials to event-based threats, this conversation dives deep into: Why cloud security is NOT like on-prem – and how that affects incident response How attackers exploit APIs in seconds (yes, seconds—not hours!)

Apparently, their rapid cloud growth was not sufficient to appease the Wall Street gods., but honestly – what is ever good enough for them?   They reported earnings of 1.47 a share, just shy of the 1.48 expected by the analysts. Revenue was up 9% from a year before, at $14.06B below the street’s target of $14.1 Billion. Income was up 26% from prior year, to 3.15B.   Revenue from cloud services and license support was up 12% to 10.8 billion.  Oracle CEO Safra Catz said growth in the AI segment was nothing short of extraordinary, with 336% growth in GPU unit consumption from the prior year.  Despite positive signs, Oracle guidance was soft and this also angered the Wall Street gods.  04:09 Justin – “…now in January, their stock is, up a dollar 11 today, but, looking at the month, they haven’t really recovered from earnings quite yet. So we’ll see how they do as they continue through the year. But, yeah, I mean, tech in general is down. I mean, everything’s down. Everyone’s waiting for the election to, election, the, the soaring in and the new administration to come in as we’re past that.” 04:34 HashiCorp 2024 year in review 2024 was a busy year for Hashicorp, and they wrote up a blog post to point out the highlights.

Or watch the video version on YouTube. Bret is joined by Willem Delbare and Roeland Delrue to discuss Aikido, a security tool consolidation platform designed specifically for smaller teams and solo DevOps practitioners. The discussion explores how Aikido addresses the growing challenges of software supply chain security by bringing together various security tools - from CVE scanning to cloud API analysis - under a single, manageable portal. Unlike enterprise-focused solutions, Aikido targets the needs of smaller teams and individual DevOps engineers who often juggle multiple responsibilities. During the episode, they demonstrate Aikido's capabilities using Bret's sample GitHub organization, and show how teams can implement comprehensive security measures without managing multiple separate tools.Be sure to check out video version of the complete show for demos, from our December 5, 2024 YouTube Live stream.★Topics★Aikido websiteAikido on BlueskyAikido on LinkedInCreators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Willem Delbare - Guest Roeland Delrue - Guest (00:00) - Intro (06:20) - Aikido Origin Story (10:32) - What Does AutoFix Mean?
