Story
Financials work at Standard Chartered spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United Kingdom. Infrastructure as code was splitting across regional habits. Platform engineers asked for a shared way to run environment provisioning without freezing local judgment.
HashiCorp (Consul) is what they standardized on. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. Standard Chartered uses it as the system of record for infrastructure as code, with platform engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
