About Consul

HashiCorp Consul provides service networking capabilities including service discovery, service mesh, and distributed configuration. It enables services to discover and securely communicate with each other across any runtime platform.

The service mesh capability provides automatic mTLS encryption, traffic management, and observability between services without code changes. It supports sidecar and native integration patterns.

Consul supports multi-datacenter federation, health checking, KV store, and prepared queries. It works across Kubernetes, VMs, and serverless platforms for consistent networking.

HCP Consul offers a managed version, while self-hosted Consul is available in open-source and enterprise editions with advanced features like namespaces and audit logging.
