Case Study: Women In Linux streamlines secure government IT automation with HashiCorp Terraform, Vault, and Consul

How Many Tools Does It Take to Build a Cluster Terraform, Vault, and Consul in Government IT

Women In Linux, working in a complex, air-gapped U.S. Air Force environment, needed a way to manage highly distributed infrastructure across VMs, on-prem systems, cloud, OpenShift, and Kubernetes without introducing drift, manual errors, or security gaps. Their challenge was compounded by strict compliance requirements, siloed teams, and reliance on manual processes for deployment, testing, and patching.

HashiCorp helped Women In Linux streamline this environment with Terraform, Vault, and Consul, using policy as code, automated image and VM deployments, secure access controls, and better feedback loops into JIRA. The result was more consistent infrastructure, improved collaboration, faster responses to failures, and reduced manual work across the pipeline, with measurable validation through repeated on-prem Terraform Enterprise installs and testing across multiple Terraform and Red Hat versions.
