ConsulService MeshHashiCorpService Discovery 5 min read
Consul service discovery, Connect proxy, intentions and multi-datacenter.
Consul vs Istio vs Linkerd¶
- Consul — service discovery first, multi-platform (K8s + VMs)
- Istio — K8s-native, most comprehensive
- Linkerd — K8s-only, lightest weight
Intentions¶
Kind = "service-intentions"
Name = "database"
Sources = [
{ Name = "api", Action = "allow" },
{ Name = "*", Action = "deny" }
]
Multi-Datacenter¶
WAN federation, cross-DC service discovery, prepared queries with failover.
Summary¶
Consul = service mesh for heterogeneous environments. Strong choice for the HashiCorp stack.
