Not an expert nor a user of terraform, but I'm currently learning about the tool, and I like to learn by reading from books and docs, rather than diving straight in and doing.

Based on what I've read, while Hashicorp tools may look like their only contribution is platform agnostic tooling, a deep dive into the docs reveals a focus on dynamically changing architecture and providing tooling to scale dynamically changing architectures in short time scales to any number of resources (i.e. not just machines / VM / containers / compute resources, but resources like users, user-generated resources, user-generated secrets etc.)

My impressions thus far is that Hashicorp is aware of the variety of alternative tools, that's why their certifications / training / professional services are only available for the tools truly core to supporting dynamic architectures : Terraform, Consul and Vault.
