Unified Infrastructure Visibility: HCP Terraform with Infragraph Now in Public Preview

Cloud migration promised simplicity, but many organizations find themselves stuck with fragmented infrastructure data. Silos of information across hybrid and multi-cloud environments make it difficult to track ownership, patch vulnerabilities, and control costs. Enter HCP Terraform powered by Infragraph—a centralized, event-driven knowledge graph that delivers real-time visibility and prepares teams for AI-driven automation. Now in public preview for qualified US HCP Terraform customers, this tool helps platform teams regain control. Below, we answer common questions about this new offering.

1. What is HCP Terraform powered by Infragraph and why was it created?

HCP Terraform powered by Infragraph is an integrated solution that combines HashiCorp's Cloud Platform with Infragraph's event-driven knowledge graph. It was created to address the growing complexity of managing hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. As organizations adopt more cloud services, data becomes scattered across silos, making it nearly impossible to get a unified view of assets, ownership, and security posture. Traditional static snapshots quickly become outdated. Infragraph continuously pulls data from the entire infrastructure estate, updating the knowledge graph dynamically. This gives platform teams a single source of truth that evolves in real time, enabling faster response to changes, security threats, and cost anomalies. The goal is to reduce manual data consolidation and provide a foundation for future AI-powered automation workflows.

2. How does Infragraph solve the problem of siloed infrastructure data?

Infragraph uses a centralized, event-driven knowledge graph to connect data from multiple cloud providers, on-premises systems, and tools. Instead of relying on static exports or manual efforts, it ingests information continuously from the entire estate. This eliminates the “dirty data” problem—outdated records from servers, VMs, and cloud resources—that plagues many organizations. By presenting a unified, live view of infrastructure resources, platform teams can see ownership, dependencies, and status instantly. The graph structure also makes it easy to traverse relationships between assets, something traditional dashboards struggle with. With Infragraph, teams no longer need to cobble together insights from five or more separate services. The result is a single pane of glass that updates in real time, reducing complexity and improving decision-making speed.

3. What are the key benefits for platform teams using Infragraph?

Platform teams gain several critical advantages from Infragraph. First, unified visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments ends the need for manual data aggregation. Second, dynamic updates replace static snapshots, so information is always current—essential when infrastructure changes happen frequently. Third, improved security posture: real-time insights allow teams to detect and patch vulnerabilities faster, especially when AI accelerates attack vectors. Fourth, cost control: unexpected usage spikes can be investigated proactively before they inflate bills. Fifth, ownership clarity: the knowledge graph maps who is responsible for each resource, reducing finger-pointing during incidents. Finally, Infragraph lays the groundwork for AI-driven automation, as the clean, live data can power machine learning models to optimize workflows. These benefits help platform teams move from reactive firefighting to proactive management.

4. How does Infragraph enhance security and risk mitigation?

Security patching and risk mitigation become more effective with Infragraph’s real-time data. In the age of AI-powered attacks, hackers can exploit vulnerabilities with unprecedented speed. Traditional security approaches that rely on periodic scans or outdated snapshots leave gaps. Infragraph continuously monitors the infrastructure estate, flagging changes, misconfigurations, and new assets that may introduce risk. Because the knowledge graph is event-driven, security events trigger immediate updates and alerts. Platform teams can quickly identify affected resources, understand dependencies, and deploy patches without delay. The unified view also helps in compliance auditing and incident response, as all asset relationships and ownership details are readily available. This shift from static to dynamic security reduces mean time to detect and respond, strengthening the organization’s overall security posture.

5. Can Infragraph help reduce infrastructure costs?

Yes, cost optimization is a key benefit. With Infragraph, platform teams get a live picture of resource utilization across all clouds and on-premises systems. Unexpected spikes in usage can be investigated immediately, before they cause budget overruns. The knowledge graph also reveals underutilized or orphaned resources that continue to incur charges. By correlating cost data with resource ownership and usage patterns, teams can make informed decisions about scaling down or decommissioning assets. Additionally, the unified visibility helps avoid duplicate services and simplifies cost allocation across departments. Instead of waiting for monthly billing reports that show historical data, Infragraph provides near real-time cost insights, enabling proactive budget management. This aligns with the goal of “truth to infrastructure” and helps keep cloud expenditures under control.

6. Who can access the public preview and how?

As announced at IBM Think, HCP Terraform powered by Infragraph is now available in public preview for qualified US customers of HCP Terraform. To get started, eligible organizations should contact their HashiCorp account representative or visit the HashiCorp Cloud Platform portal. The preview allows teams to test the knowledge graph capabilities with real infrastructure data, providing feedback that will shape the final release. HashiCorp has designed the preview to give early adopters a head start in unifying their visibility and preparing for AI-driven workflows. While the preview is limited to US customers initially, broader availability is expected based on feedback and demand. This is an opportunity for platform teams to experience live, event-driven infrastructure insights without waiting for general availability.
