Introducing HCP Terraform powered by Infragraph - now in public preview

Source: HashiCorp Blog

Migrating to the cloud was supposed to make infrastructure easier to provision and manage. For many enterprises, the reality is more complicated. New pain points emerged that undermine the cloud’s speed, security, and scale.

Take the “normal” state for organizations now: infrastructure data stored in silos. As a result, rarely is there a unified picture of what’s happening across hybrid and multi‑cloud environments. Platform teams cobble it together themselves—or end up buying different tools, creating even more sprawl. They struggle to track who owns and is responsible for different resources. Security patching and risk mitigation get harder, complexity grows, and costs escalate.

HCP Terraform powered by Infragraph provides a centralized, event‑driven knowledge graph that delivers unified visibility, empowering organizations to secure and optimize infrastructure. Static insights are replaced by dynamic updates sourced from the organization’s full estate, laying the foundation for AI‑driven automation of key workflows.

At IBM Think, we announced that HCP Terraform powered by Infragraph will be available to qualified US HCP Terraform customers in public preview.

Bringing truth to infrastructure

For platform teams, truth has long been elusive. According to HashiCorp research, most companies use five or more services to manage their cloud landscape.

Consolidating data from disparate ecosystems, workflows, and applications often requires manual, cumbersome processes. By the time the data is ready for analysis, it is already out‑of‑date. This static view slows response times and leads to unexpected spending. The problem worsens as infrastructure changes happen more frequently, exploits materialize faster, and costs spiral out of control.

• Security: AI enables attackers to target vulnerabilities with remarkable speed and precision, demanding real‑time discovery and patching.
• Cost control: Platform teams must investigate unexpected usage spikes before they inflate the bill.

Legacy approaches to hybrid and multi‑cloud management often leave organizations with “dirty data” — outdated information from servers, VMs, and cloud systems.

With Infragraph, assets are regularly updated through direct connections into every ecosystem, with Terraform Search available for deeper or custom data streams. As data lands in AWS, Azure, GCP, or on‑premises systems, Infragraph can be refreshed, finally giving platform teams the unified infrastructure truth they’ve been seeking.

Moving from ad‑hoc to autonomous

Cloud patching, drift management, compliance, reporting, and auditing remain ad‑hoc, manual, and expensive in many organizations. Time that should be spent proactively detecting issues is consumed navigating data silos.

Even with powerful security and data capabilities, dispersed data keeps companies operating from behind when identifying, remediating, and preventing issues. Without addressing underlying data fragmentation, AI agents struggle to navigate silos across hybrid or multi‑cloud environments.

Infragraph provides a clearer view into resource allocation and ownership, helping optimize infrastructure spending. CloudOps, platform, and security teams can obtain insights through natural language queries. As more companies adopt AI, Infragraph will serve as the unified knowledge foundation to power trusted, automated workflows.

How to get started with the public preview

As announced at IBM Think 2026, if you are already an HCP Terraform customer, you can access the Terraform powered by Infragraph public preview starting May 8.

1. Log in to your HCP organization.
2. Click the Infragraph tile to configure connections, set up queries, and add users.
3. Add connections to AWS, HCP Terraform, and HCP Packer to view how your cloud estate connects to infrastructure as code.
4. Query unmanaged and managed resources, or identify resources using an old version of Terraform.
