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.
.
Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. It is recommended to run the
Consul servers only on Linux, however.
