Summary

HashiCorp's new feature, Administrative Partitions, aims to solve the challenges of managing multiple dedicated service meshes provisioned for different teams within an organization. The main goal is to reduce resource inefficiencies, improve consistency and governance, and lower costs associated with managing individual service mesh deployments. Admin Partitions provide improved multi-tenancy capabilities by consolidating multiple Consul deployments onto a single Consul control plane, allowing tenants to share resources while maintaining isolation between groups. This solution enables centralized management, reduces the need for non-overlapping IP ranges, and provides strict resource isolation between partitions. By using Admin Partitions, organizations can optimize their cloud efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall service mesh management.
