<h2>Service Discovery</h2>
<p>
Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to
discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. Register external
services such as SaaS providers as well.

<h2>Failure Detection</h2>
<p>
Pairing service discovery with health checking prevents routing
requests to unhealthy hosts and enables services to easily provide
circuit breakers.

<h2>Multi Datacenter</h2>

complicated configuration. Look up services in other datacenters, or
keep the request local.
