HashiCorp Consul version 1.11 has been released, introducing multi-tenancy with administrative partitions, a new installation-and-management Consul Kubernetes CLI, and Vault integration on Consul Kubernetes. This release addresses the challenges of scaling service mesh across multiple tenants by providing a shared service-networking solution for various deployment patterns, including Kubernetes clusters and virtual machines within a single Consul datacenter. The new Consul Kubernetes CLI offers a simpler user experience, reduces the number of steps to get a deployment running, and enables preset configurations for application and Kubernetes teams. Additionally, Consul 1.11 integrates with Hashicorp Vault as the native secrets backend, providing a secure and seamless workflow for storing Consul on Kubernetes secrets and issuing certificates for Consul components deployed onto Kubernetes. The release is designed to help organizations run Consul to reduce operational complexity and seamlessly integrate service mesh into their application workflows.
