## Intention Replication
Intention replication happens automatically but requires the

configuration to be set to specify a datacenter that is authoritative
for intentions. In production setups with ACLs enabled, the
[replication token](/docs/agent/options.html#acl_tokens_replication) must also
be set in the secondary datacenter server's configuration.
## Certificate Authority Federation
The primary datacenter also acts as the root Certificate Authority (CA) for Connect.
The primary datacenter generates a trust-domain UUID and obtains a root certificate
from the configured CA provider which defaults to the built-in one.
Secondary datacenters fetch the root CA public key and trust-domain ID from the
primary and generate their own key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for an
intermediate CA certificate. This CSR is signed by the root in the primary
datacenter and the certificate is returned. The secondary datacenter can now use
this intermediate to sign new Connect certificates in the secondary datacenter
without WAN communication. CA keys are never replicated between datacenters.
The secondary maintains watches on the root CA certificate in the primary. If the
CA root changes for any reason such as rotation or migration to a new CA, the
secondary automatically generates new keys and has them signed by the primary
datacenter's new root before initiating an automatic rotation of all issued
certificates in use throughout the secondary datacenter. This makes CA root key
rotation fully automatic and with zero downtime across multiple datacenters.

Consul Enterprise supports cross datacenter connections using Consul Connect.

# Consul Connect Multi-Datacenter
[Consul Enterprise](https://www.hashicorp.com/consul.html) enables service-to-service
connections across multiple Consul datacenters. This includes replication of intentions
and federation of Certificate Authority trust.
Sidecar proxy's [upstream configuration](/docs/connect/registration/service-registration.html#upstream-configuration-reference)
may specify an alternative datacenter or a prepared query that can address services
in multiple datacenters (such as the [geo failover](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/developer-discovery/geo-failover) pattern).
[Intentions](/docs/connect/intentions.html) verify connections between services by
source and destination name seamlessly across datacenters. Support for constraining Intentions
by source or destination datacenter is planned for the near future.
It is assumed that workloads can communicate between datacenters via existing network
routes and VPN tunnels, potentially using Consul's
[`translate_wan_addrs`](/docs/agent/options.html#translate_wan_addrs) to ensure remote
workloads discover an externally routable IP.
# Replication
Intention replication happens automatically but requires the [`primary_datacenter`](/docs/agent/options.html#primary_datacenter)
configuration to be set to specify a datacenter that is authoritative
for intentions. In production setups with ACLs enabled, the [replication token](/docs/agent/options.html#acl_tokens_replication)
must also be set in secondary datacenter server's configuration.
# Certificate Authority Federation
The primary datacenter also acts as the root Certificate Authority (CA) for Connect.
The primary datacenter generates a trust-domain UUID and obtains a root certificate
from the configured CA provider which defaults to the built-in one.
Secondary datacenters fetch the root CA public key and trust-domain ID from the primary and
generate their own key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for an intermediate CA certificate.
This CSR is signed by the root in the primary datacenter and the certificate is returned.
The secondary datacenter can now use this intermediate to sign new Connect certificates
in the secondary datacenter without WAN communication. CA keys are never replicated between
datacenters.
The secondary maintains watches on the root CA certificate in the primary. If the CA root
changes for any reason such as rotation or migration to a new CA, the secondary automatically
generates new keys and has them signed by the primary datacenter's new root before initiating
an automatic rotation of all issued certificates in use throughout the secondary datacenter.
This makes CA root key rotation fully automatic and with zero downtime across multiple data
centers.

<h3>Service Access Graph </h3> <h3>Layer 7 Observability</h3>
<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

<h3>Mesh Gateway</h3>
<p>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.</p>
