IBM Buys HashiCorp To Control The Alternative To Red Hat Kubernetes
It has been quite a week for Hashi Corp, the company behind the open source Hashi Stack of systems software for creating and running modern, distributed
pretty different things and also IBM owns Red Hat
Hashicorp's Nomad is a k8s competitor. It has pretty nice tooling that is simplier than k8s, and directly supportes vms, containers, war files, etc.
It's pretty common for companies to buy up their competitors, so IBM already owning openshift/etc and still making the purchase makes sense.

Capitalism "competition drives innovation" at its finest
The title is super confusing, it looks like Kubernetes is part of Red Hat
I’m tired and OP’s title case is messing with my brain.
If I were to rank HashiCorp's products by importance, Nomad would not be at the top
Of course, if I had ranked Red Hat's products by importance at the time of acquisition, OpenShift would not have been at the top, so I am not a reliable ranker
