HashiCorp Consul Service (HCS) on Azure is now generally available, enabling teams to provision HashiCorp-managed Consul clusters directly through the Microsoft Azure portal. This allows for easy access to various Consul use cases, including service discovery, automated network configuration, and secure service-to-service communication with service mesh. HCS supports both development and production clusters, as well as on-demand development clusters that can be used to evaluate key aspects of the service or execute a proof of concept. The service also includes an Azure CLI extension for streamlined integration and management. Additionally, HCS on Azure supports HashiCorp Consul 1.8 clusters by default, with new features like ingress gateways, terminating gateways, and single sign-on that enable extended and integrated deployment of enterprise service meshes. Furthermore, the service will soon support WAN federation over mesh gateways, allowing for simplified network configurations across multiple environments. Several key partners have tested and support their existing Consul integrations with the GA version of HCS on Azure.
