Summary

The general availability of HashiCorp Consul-Terraform-Sync 0.7 marks a significant milestone in the maturity of Network Infrastructure Automation solutions. This release combines the functionality of HashiCorp Terraform and HashiCorp Consul to eliminate manual ticket-based systems across on-premises and cloud environments. CTS enables teams to manage Day 2 networking tasks by integrating Consul's catalog to register services into the system, triggering a Terraform run that automates updates and deployments for load balancers, firewall policies, and other service-defined networking components. The new features in CTS 0.7 include high availability, failover behavior, and improved task-lifecycle APIs and CLIs. With the implementation of a leader/follower system, CTS is now highly available, redundant, and capable of handling failures gracefully. This release provides a more robust and reliable solution for automating network infrastructure management, enabling teams to focus on higher-level tasks while maintaining the stability and security of their networks.
