> indeed i just saw a startup demo today show off a feature that they admitted was just Vault in a wrapper (they even called their thing Vault haha) and that was it, but i would not have thought Hashicorp would mind them at all (its a very new startup)
What about all the cloud providers with their own Vault offering, which is likely just Hashicorp's FOSS Vault with lipstick and other bells/whistles?
People are paying good money for Secrets Management, and probably not to HashiCorp (directly or indirectly). If your cloud provider offers a turn-key solution and it's priced right, why would you bother with an external 3rd party?
HashiCorp recently rolled out a "Free Tier" to their HCP service[1]. They're clearly trying to get more people to use their first-party services.
