Currently the gRPC server assumes that if you have configured TLS certs on the agent (for RPC) that you want gRPC to be encrypted. If gRPC is bound to localhost this can be overkill. For the API we let the user choose to offer HTTP or HTTPS API endpoints independently of the TLS cert configuration for a similar reason. This setting will let someone encrypt RPC traffic with TLS but avoid encrypting local gRPC traffic if that is what they want to do by only enabling TLS on gRPC if the HTTPS API port is enabled. |

Consul
- Website: https://www.consul.io

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
Consul provides several key features:
-
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.
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
-
Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization.
Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. 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.
