Service Mesh Made Easy
-Consul is a distributed service mesh to connect, secure, and configure services across any runtime platform and public or private cloud
+Easy Service Networking
+Consul is a service networking solution to connect and secure services across any runtime platform and public or private cloud
Use Cases
+Consul can be run as a platform to solve a range of use-cases + in service networking.
- Service Discovery for connectivity
-Service Registry enables services to register and discover each other.
+Service Discovery
+Use the service registry to address and discover services across multiple runtime platforms, cloud providers and regions.
- Service Segmentation for security
-Secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization.
+
+ Service Mesh
+Service discovery, identity-based authorization, and L7 traffic management abstracted from application code with proxies in the service mesh pattern.
- Service Configuration for runtime configuration
-Feature rich Key/Value store to easily configure services.
+Service Configuration
+Utilize the distributed Key/Value store to dynamically configure services and manage complex availability requirements.

The Solution
- Service segmentation for dynamic service authorization. + Service mesh as an automated and distributed approach to networking and security that can operate across platforms and private and public cloudService segmentation is a new approach to secure the service itself - rather than relying on the network. Consul uses service policies to - codify which services are allowed to communicate. These policies - scale across datacenters and large fleets without IP-based rules or - networking middleware.

Features
Layer 7 Traffic Management
+Service-to-service communication policy at Layer 7 can be managed centrally, enabling advanced traffic management patterns such as service failover, path-based routing, and traffic shifting that can be applied across public and private clouds, platforms, and networks.

+ Service Access Graph
-Define and enforce service to service communication with a simple Intentions configuration. Service based rules, instead of IP-based rules, make it easy to manage dynamic infrastructure with frequently changing machines and service locations.
+Layer 7 Observability
+Centrally managed service observability at Layer 7 including detailed metrics on all service-to-service communication such as connections, bytes transferred, retries, timeouts, open circuits, and request rates, response codes.

Mesh Gateway
+Connect between different cloud regions, VPCs and between overlay and underlay networks without complex network tunnels and NAT. Mesh Gateways solve routing at TLS layer while preserving end-to-end encryption and limiting attack surface area at the edge of each network.
