For deployments **Simplified set up**: Because there are no client agents to engage in gossip, you do not have to generate and distribute a gossip encryption key to agents during the initial bootstrapping process. Securing agent communication also becomes simpler, with fewer tokens to track, distribute, and rotate. -**Additional environment and runtime support**: Current Consul on Kubernetes deployments require using `hostPorts` and `DaemonSets` for client agents, which limits Consul’s ability to be deployed in environments where those features are not supported. As a result, Consul Dataplane supports AWS Fargate and GKE Autopilot. +**Additional environment and runtime support**: Consul on Kubernetes versions *prior* to 1.0 (Consul 1.14) require using hostPorts and DaemonSets for client agents, which limits Consul’s ability to be deployed in environments where those features are not supported. +As of Consul on Kubernetes version 1.0 (Consul 1.14) with the new Consul Dataplane, `hostPorts` are no longer required and Consul now supports AWS Fargate and GKE Autopilot. **Easier upgrades**: With Consul Dataplane, updating Consul to a new version no longer requires upgrading client agents. Consul Dataplane also has better compatibility across Consul server versions, so the process to upgrade Consul servers becomes easier.
