Infrastructure at Speed. Security by Design.
IBM Terraform and Vault, available from Insight, work together to help you build, secure, and scale cloud infrastructure quickly and safely.
Your infrastructure, built with code
Transform your IT infrastructure with IBM Terraform, an infrastructure-as-code tool that lets you build, change, and version cloud and on-premises resources safely and efficiently.
Terraform integrates with your existing providers and custom tools to increase speed, improve productivity, and reduce manual errors, while automated workflows allow you to deploy servers, databases, and networks across any cloud environment in minutes.
Why Terraform?
Manage: Use Terraform providers to manage infrastructure across the platforms and services you already use — or build your own — while simplifying upgrades and changes with an immutable infrastructure approach.
Track: Terraform generates an execution plan for approval and maintains a state file as the source of truth to ensure your real infrastructure matches your configuration.
Automate changes: Declarative configuration files define the desired end state, allowing Terraform to automatically determine dependencies and efficiently provision resources in parallel.
Standardize configurations: Reusable Terraform modules standardize infrastructure deployments, saving time and promoting consistent best practices.
Collaborate: Store Terraform configurations in version control and use HashiCorp Terraform to securely manage workflows, shared state, and team access across your organization.
How does Terraform work?
Write: Define infrastructure in configuration files.
Plan: Review the changes Terraform will make to your infrastructure
Apply: Terraform provisions your infrastructure and updates the state file
Security built into every deployment
As infrastructure is created, IBM Vault secures your “keys to the kingdom.” Passwords, certificates, tokens, and encryption keys are centrally managed and automatically generated when accessed.
Your organization gets:
- Centralized management
- Dynamic credentials generated on demand
- dentity-based security controls
- Encryption across hybrid and multicloud environments, endpoint systems, messaging queues, SSH, and more
Secrets
Centrally store, access, and distribute secrets programmatically.
Certificates
Generate, rotate, and revoke certificates on demand.
Keys
Distribute, rotate, enable, and disable keys.
Data protection
Protect data in transit and at rest with encryption as a service.
Stop secret sprawl
Modern infrastructure relies on countless credentials, such as passwords, tokens, certificates, and API keys. Without centralized management, these secrets can become scattered across code, scripts, and systems, increasing security risk.
Common sources of exposure:
- Source code repositories
- Local configuration files
- CI/CD pipelines
- Application environments
Vault eliminates this “secret sprawl” by securely storing and controlling access to sensitive data in one trusted system.
A seamless workflow
To create truly modern infrastructure, automation and security must work together. Terraform and Vault integrate seamlessly so infrastructure can be deployed quickly while sensitive credentials remain protected.
The result is a streamlined workflow that enables teams to build, secure, and scale infrastructure with confidence.
