Summary

HashiCorp Boundary is an open source solution that provides secure remote access to applications and infrastructure without exposing underlying network credentials. Recently, HashiCorp launched a fully managed version on the HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP), enabling users to manage identity-based authorizations, user and target onboarding, and more for dynamic environments. The integration with Datadog provides comprehensive visibility into infrastructure access, real-time audit log streaming, and an out-of-the-box dashboard to monitor the health and performance of HCP Boundary instances and track all user sessions within your environment. This integration also allows users to leverage real-time alerting on key metrics, such as active connections per worker or request latency for controllers, ensuring optimal performance in large-scale environments. Additionally, Datadog's integration with Terraform and Vault provides complete control over how Boundary instances are deployed and managed, ensuring secure access to applications.
