Terraform Stacks and Boundary Transparent Sessions - News from HashiConf 2024

Hello and welcome to the third HashiCorp User Group session in Göteborg! 👋

==> New room: London! Same location, but a different room!

This time we will explore two announcements coming from HashiConf 2024 that took place in Boston on October 15-16:

1️⃣ "Terraform Stacks": What are Terraform Stacks? What problem do they solve? How do they work? Terraform Stacks can help you scale your infrastructure management with Terraform. Stacks introduce a new set of files, new HCL blocks, and new behavior!

2️⃣ "Boundary transparent sessions": Boundary is HashiCorp's solution for human-to-machine access. With transparent sessions users authenticate to Boundary, and then use their normal clients to access their remote systems. No longer do you need to use the Boundary client in order to connect to your targets. This makes Boundary behave more like traditional VPN solutions, while keeping the modern approach to privileged access management under the hood!

Lighter food and drinks will be provided 🌮 🥗 🥤. There will also be a chance to grab some HashiCorp swag as well as Terraform + Vault + Consul certification vouchers!

Preliminary agenda (times are indicative and could be changed):
17:15 - Doors open. Food, drinks, networking.
17:45 - Welcome and introduction
17:50 - Sessions with short breaks
Event ends at the latest 20:00
