How it works?
Hashicorp Consul is a service networking platform for service discovery and service mesh in distributed systems. Platform and DevOps teams use it to register services, track health, and control service-to-service communication without relying on hard-coded endpoints, improving reliability as environments and deployments change.
Consul is commonly run on Kubernetes or virtual machines and can connect services across multiple clusters or data centers. It integrates with modern delivery workflows to apply consistent connectivity, security policies, and observability as applications scale.
- Centralized service catalog with DNS and HTTP APIs for discovery
- Health checks to route traffic only to healthy service instances
- Service mesh capabilities such as mTLS and service identity
- Traffic authorization and segmentation using intentions (access policies)
- Multi-datacenter and multi-environment service connectivity
Service mesh technology is a networking layer that facilitates communication between services in a distributed system. It simplifies the task of managing the underlying network infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on building and deploying applications without worrying about the complexities of network management. Service mesh also provides advanced security features such as traffic monitoring and encryption, ensuring the system is resilient and safeguarded against malicious attacks.
Here are some reasons to use tools in the service mesh category:
- Simplifies the management of networking infrastructure in a distributed system.
- Provides advanced security features such as traffic monitoring and encryption.
- Enables features like service discovery, load balancing, and traffic routing.
- Enhances observability through detailed metrics and monitoring capabilities.
- Increases resilience by enabling fault tolerance and handling network disruptions seamlessly.
- Facilitates the adoption of microservices architecture and helps in deploying them at scale.
- Offers platform independence and works with various languages and platforms.
- Reduces development and maintenance costs by abstracting away the underlying infrastructure.
Here are some key reasons to use Consul:
- Consul enables service discovery, providing a registry of all services in a distributed application and enabling communication between them.
- Consul provides health checking, continuously monitoring the health of services and alerting the system if a service becomes unavailable.
- Consul offers load balancing, balancing traffic between services based on various factors.
- Consul provides multi-datacenter support, allowing Consul to be used across multiple datacenters and enabling distributed applications to scale and operate globally.
- Consul offers service segmentation, segmenting services based on different criteria to enable developers to better manage traffic and security between services.
- Consul provides observability, offering advanced monitoring and observability features to help developers understand and optimize the performance of their distributed applications.
- Consul integrates seamlessly with other HashiCorp products like Vault and Nomad, allowing developers to build and manage entire application infrastructure stacks using HashiCorp tools.
- Consul offers robust clustering capabilities, allowing it to scale horizontally to handle large and complex distributed applications.
- Consul is a widely used and popular tool with a large community and support ecosystem, meaning that developers can easily find resources and support for using it in their applications.
Our experience with Hashicorp Consul helped us accumulate the practical knowledge, automation patterns, and operational runbooks needed to help teams deploy, scale, and govern Consul across real production environments.
Some of the things we did include:
- Designed and deployed highly available Consul server clusters across multiple availability zones, including backup/restore procedures and disaster recovery testing.
- Implemented Consul service discovery and health checks for microservices running on Kubernetes and mixed VM environments, standardizing naming, tags, and registration patterns.
- Rolled out Consul Connect service mesh (mTLS, intentions, sidecars) and integrated it with ingress/egress controls to reduce lateral movement and tighten service-to-service access.
- Automated Consul provisioning and configuration using Terraform, including ACL bootstrapping, token lifecycle workflows, and environment-specific policy sets.
- Integrated Consul with HashiCorp Vault for secure service-to-service authentication and secrets access, aligning identity, policies, and rotation practices.
- Built CI/CD pipelines to validate configuration changes (ACLs, intentions, service definitions) before rollout, reducing configuration drift and failed deployments.
- Implemented observability for Consul (metrics, logs, and alerting), with dashboards and SLOs for leader elections, catalog health, and request latency.
- Performed upgrades and migrations between Consul versions, including compatibility checks, phased rollouts, and rollback plans to minimize downtime.
- Hardened Consul security posture by enforcing TLS everywhere, tightening gossip encryption, and implementing least-privilege ACL policies per team and workload.
- Delivered operational enablement: on-call playbooks, incident response checklists, and hands-on training for platform and application teams.
This delivery experience helped us accumulate significant knowledge across multiple Consul use-cases—from service discovery to service mesh and security—and enables us to deliver high-quality Hashicorp Consul setups that are reliable, maintainable, and ready for production.
Some of the things we can help you do with Hashicorp Consul include:
- Assess your current service discovery and networking patterns and deliver a findings report with prioritized remediation actions.
- Create an adoption roadmap for Consul service discovery and service mesh, including phased rollout and success metrics.
