HashiCorp Consul is a service mesh solution. A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that controls service-to-service communication in a microservices architecture. It manages the routing of service requests to other services, performs load balancing, encrypts data, and discovers other services.

?????? What you’ll learn in 2 Hours ? ??????
? What service mesh is, what problems it solves in microservices architecture
? How service mesh and Consul specifically works
? How Consul works in Kubernetes multi-cluster, hybrid environments with VMs
? Consul Architecture (Control Plane and Data Plane)
? Learn about
– Proxy containers
– Dynamic Service Discovery
– Health Checks and Fault Tolerance
? Learn about secure networking – creating a zero-trust network:
– Mutual TLS – mTLS
– Authenticated Communication
– Control Traffic with Service Intentions
? Hands-on demo ????
– create 2 K8s clusters on 2 different cloud platforms
– deploy microservices application and Consul on it
– configure failover, so in case one service is unhealthy or unreachable it routes the traffic to the healthy service instance on the other cloud platform
