Ambassador API Gateway Announces Native Support for Consul Service Mesh

Ambassador, a service mesh API gateway, has introduced native support for the Consul service mesh, enabling organizations to expose any Consul service to the internet using declarative configuration. This integration provides a complete solution for traffic management in hybrid cloud environments, spanning Kubernetes, virtual machines, and bare metal infrastructure. With this architecture, application workloads can be moved anywhere without impacting security or end users, thanks to Consul's centralized management of available endpoints, service configuration, and secrets for TLS encryption. Ambassador serves as a common point of ingress, providing features such as user authentication, API management, and TLS termination, while using Consul for service discovery and end-to-end traffic security. The integration is designed to be stateless by design, relying on Consul and Kubernetes as the single source of truth, enabling simple horizontal scale-out of Ambassador instances.
