Announcing Consul 1.10 GA

HashiCorp has released Consul 1.10, a new version of its service mesh and service discovery software. The release includes several exciting features such as transparent proxy for service mesh, support for xDS v3, streaming, and observability enhancements. With the transparent proxy feature, users can now allow Envoy to infer the destination based on application information without requiring additional modifications. Consul 1.10 also defaults to using xDS version 3 and Incremental xDS for all supported Envoy proxy versions bootstrapped by the Consul CLI. Streaming is enabled by default for service health, reducing CPU and network bandwidth usage for large-scale Consul deployments. The new release includes a redesigned UI with a fresh layout, improved observability features, and enhanced metrics support for Kubernetes users. Additionally, the legacy ACL system is being deprecated in favor of a new access controls system, which will be removed from Consul in the near future. Overall, Consul 1.10 aims to further enable enterprise-ready service mesh implementations across both containerized and non-containerized environments.
