General News

00:53 Vagrant Cloud is moving to HCP

What sort of feels like a “if you care about it, get it moved into HCP before the IBM acquisition is done” Vagrant Cloud is being migrated to the Hashicorp Cloud Platform (HCP) under the new name of HCP Vagrant Registry.

All existing users of Vagrant Cloud are now able to migrate their Vagrant Boxes to HCP.

Vagrant isn’t changing; HCP provides a fully managed platform to make using Vagrant easier.

An improved box search experience

A refreshed Vagrant Cloud UI

No Fee for private boxes

Users who migrate can register for free with the same email address as their existing Vagrant cloud account.

01:53 Justin – “I really think Vagrant would be a key pillar of the IBM future strategy for HashiCorp? Nope, I sure did not. I mean, I figured they’d probably just keep it open source and people would keep developing on it, but I didn’t really expect much. So, you know, to at least get this and an improved search experience is kind of nice because the old Vagrant cloud website, it was definitely a little stale. So I can have improved search and a new UI is always nice.”
