HashiCorp has announced that its Consul service mesh is now generally available as a fully managed service on AWS, known as HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) Consul. This service provides a simple way to discover and securely connect services in AWS environments, reducing the operational burden of running a service mesh in production. To get started with HCP Consul, users need to create an account, deploy a cluster, peer their existing AWS environments, and connect their services. HashiCorp has also released a new Terraform provider for HCP Consul, which allows users to quickly provision and manage resources through a familiar workflow. Pricing for HCP Consul is available in the U.S. and Europe regions, with options including hourly, annual, and development clusters. Users can learn more about HCP Consul by visiting the HashiCorp website or signing up directly through the HCP portal.
