Summary

Nomad 0.10 introduces native Consul Connect integration, enabling services managed by Nomad to opt into mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) connections between services without requiring additional code changes. This integration uses features in Nomad to enable end-to-end mTLS through Consul Connect, providing network-level isolation and security benefits for microservices deployed in a cloud-native environment. With this integration, applications can use sidecar proxies to establish TLS connections automatically, while users can configure network stanzas at the task group level to support secure communication between services.
