Google Cloud and HashiCorp, Inc. have announced an expansion of their partnership to enhance automation and accelerate the cloud transformation efforts of their mutual customers. The collaboration aims to launch new AI-powered features across HashiCorp’s product suite, leveraging Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform.
Vertex AI and HashiCorp
Vertex AI, Google Cloud’s platform, assists customers in discovering, customizing, augmenting, deploying, and managing their AI projects. As part of the partnership, Google Cloud will become a preferred AI provider for HashiCorp.
HashiCorp plans to use Vertex AI to develop new interfaces for joint customers, helping them use natural language commands and automate common tasks, including dashboard and insight development. Furthermore, the two companies intend to train new AI models specifically tuned for HashiCorp customers’ common use cases.
Duet AI for Developers
In addition to the expanded partnership, HashiCorp will add support for Google Cloud’s Duet AI for Developers. This tool will be trained with product information on Terraform to provide assistance in writing configurations and automating infrastructure.
Long-Standing Partnership
HashiCorp and Google Cloud have a history of working closely together to deliver innovation and value to mutual customers, including Deutsche Bank, Simpli.fi, and Vodafone. This expanded relationship underscores the commitment Google Cloud and HashiCorp have to support mutual customers with new offerings and capabilities.
Gabe Monroy, Vice President, Product Management at Google Cloud, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating that it will bring new generative AI capabilities to joint customers, helping them accelerate their AI journeys. Armon Dadgar, CTO and co-founder at HashiCorp, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the benefits this partnership will bring to their shared customers.
Generative AI at the Forefront
Generative AI has been at the forefront of Google Cloud’s recent innovations. The company has been partnering with many forward-leaning technology companies using generative AI. These partnerships have allowed Google Cloud to work on use cases and demos showcasing the potential of generative AI.
Partnering for Innovation
Among the partners, Aible and DataStax have been notable for their contributions. Aible offers a simple interface where users can start chatting and asking questions, leveraging their structured and unstructured data in their virtual private cloud.
