The HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has introduced the `Consul Plus` offering, which allows users to federate Consul clusters across multiple regions for improved redundancy and resiliency of applications. Federation simplifies communication between different datacenters, reducing operational burden and lowering risk by reducing ingress/egress points through a single gateway. The new offering enables multi-region deployments and supports recovery and resiliency, end user support across regions, and overlapping IP ranges, making it easier for organizations to build more resilient applications and address locality-aware deployment needs.
