Use only the agent token for deregistration during anti-entropy The previous behavior had the agent attempt to use the "service" token (i.e. from the `token` field in a service definition file), and if that was not set then it would use the agent token. The previous behavior was problematic because, if the service token had been deleted, the deregistration request would fail. The agent would retry the deregistration during each anti-entropy sync, and the situation would never resolve. The new behavior is to only/always use the agent token for service and check deregistration during anti-entropy. This approach is: * Simpler: No fallback logic to try different tokens * Faster (slightly): No time spent attempting the service token * Correct: The agent token is able to deregister services on that agent's node, because: * node:write permissions allow deregistration of services/checks on that node. * The agent token must have node:write permission, or else the agent is not be able to (de)register itself into the catalog Co-authored-by: Vesa Hagström <weeezes@gmail.com> |

Consul
Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.
- Website: https://www.consul.io
- Tutorials: HashiCorp Learn
- Forum: Discuss
Consul provides several key features:
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
-
Service Mesh - Consul Service Mesh enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization. Applications can use sidecar proxies in a service mesh configuration to establish TLS connections for inbound and outbound connections with Transparent Proxy.
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
Consul runs on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows and includes an optional browser based UI. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.
Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
