HashiConf at IBM TechXchange 2026
October 26th - October 29th, 2026
Atlanta, GAHashiConf, now co-located with IBM TechXchange, comes to Atlanta October 26-29, 2026. What to expect from HashiCorp's practitioner conference, and where container image security fits alongside infrastructure automation.
HashiConf at IBM TechXchange 2026: what to expect
HashiConf is HashiCorp's practitioner conference for infrastructure automation, security, and multi-cloud workflows - built around Terraform, Vault, Consul, and Nomad - now running alongside IBM TechXchange for 2026.
Themes to watch
- Infrastructure as code at enterprise scale.
- Secrets management and machine identity, a growing theme as non-human identities multiply.
- Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud automation.
- Security-first infrastructure workflows, baked into provisioning rather than added after.
Where container security fits into the conversation
Infrastructure-as-code audiences think in terms of reproducible, auditable pipelines - which is exactly the standard container base images rarely get held to. A Terraform module can be reviewed line by line; the base image it deploys is too often taken on faith.
Echo brings that same rigor to the image layer: CVE-free, FIPS-validated images with full SBOM transparency in SPDX and CycloneDX formats and signed provenance via cosign and sigstore, so the artifact your infrastructure-as-code deploys is just as auditable as the code that deployed it.
