Canary deployments with Consul Service Mesh

The Consul Team has published a blog post on how to perform Canary deployments using traffic splitting and resolution. The deployment involves creating a demo environment with three services: a public web service, two versions of the API service, and a Consul server. The goal is to gradually increase traffic to the new version of the API service while monitoring its behavior. The process involves configuring traffic splitting, starting and registering the new API service version 2, increasing traffic to it, and finally sending all traffic to the new version. The deployment demonstrates how Consul's advanced L7 traffic management features enable sophisticated traffic routing and service failover. The post provides a step-by-step guide on how to perform Canary deployments using traffic splitting and resolution in Consul 1.6.0.
