Documentation
Welcome to the Consul documentation! Consul is a multi-networking tool that offers a fully-featured service mesh solution that solves the networking and security challenges of operating microservices and cloud infrastructure (multi-cloud and hybrid cloud). This documentation covers the main concepts of Consul, what problems it can solve, and contains a quick start for using Consul.
Use Cases
Service Mesh
Consul Service Mesh provides service-to-service connection authorization and encryption using mutual Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Kubernetes
Consul has many integrations with Kubernetes. You can deploy Consul to Kubernetes using the Helm chart or Consul K8s CLI, sync services between Consul and Kubernetes, run Consul Service Mesh, and more.
Network Infrastructure Automation
Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS) enables dynamic updates to network infrastructure devices triggered by service changes.
