(I'm one of the founders of HashiCorp)

Consul, Nomad, Terraform, and Vault are the only products that have associated enterprise products (in addition to being open source). Different products have different impacts different quarters but all of them are contributing many millions per year individually.

Vagrant and Packer do not have enterprise products and we don't try to monetize them much (Vagrant Cloud has some paid plans for box hosting but primarily so that we remain cost neutral). However, we're fully committed to them and both teams have full time engineering and management assigned to them. They're not deprecated in any way.



That's indeed very cool. You seldom see such a wide and successful offering.

Congrats on the raise! And thank you for Vagrant et al.


I am so happy for you guys. Hope you take this money and make more awesome shit. Terraform is my jam.


With as useful as both Vagrant and Packer are to users... I don't understand how they don't contribute to the bottom line equally, or at least in a significant way.


I wonder how kubernetes will affect your core products. Its looks like:

Consul -> etcd Nomad -> kubernetes core Terraform -> kubernetes CRD and custom controller. Vault -> Has no kubernetes match.

So from the whole stack, only Vault left.


How do the products bring in $ if they are OSS?


For any OSS products that claims to make money you can check their product page and see if they put out some pricing information. For example https://www.hashicorp.com/products/consul
