Summary

AWS users now have the option to deploy HashiCorp Consul as their service mesh for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) deployments. This integration allows users to select Consul as their service mesh for ECS deployments, enabling them to take advantage of various service mesh features such as zero trust networking, observability, and reliability. The tech preview of this integration enables non-production deployments on the Fargate launch type, while more secure, production-ready deployments are planned for general availability. Users can deploy Consul using HashiCorp Terraform modules, which automatically add in additional containers to create a full service mesh architecture. This integration expands HashiCorp's ability to support any application on any runtime and is available now with further enhancements planned as it moves towards general availability.
