HashiCorp Supports Environment Provisioning at Edwards Lifesciences
Edwards Lifesciences, a health care organization in the United States, uses Terraform from HashiCorp to support environment provisioning for platform engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because infrastructure as code has a clear owner |
| Productivity | Handoffs in environment provisioning sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Terraform is the governed place platform engineers use for environment provisioning |
Story
Edwards Lifesciences grew infrastructure as code faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, health care teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Platform engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Terraform put environment provisioning on HashiCorp. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. Edwards Lifesciences keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so platform engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier environment provisioning. Infrastructure as code is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join platform engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
