Overview

Consul was initially released in 2014 as a service discovery platform. In addition to service discovery, it now provides a full-featured service mesh for secure service segmentation across any cloud or runtime environment, and distributed key-value storage for application configuration.[3]

Registered services and nodes can be queried using a DNS interface or an HTTP interface.[1] Envoy proxy provides security, observability, and resilience for all application traffic.
