Disaster Recovery for HashiCorp Consul on Kubernetes

HashiCorp has released a new tutorial to help practitioners develop a comprehensive disaster recovery plan when operating HashiCorp Consul on Kubernetes in a multi-datacenter federation. The tutorial reviews essential data and secrets that must be backed up and secured, sets up a lab environment for practicing recovery, and outlines manual recovery steps that can be automated with tools like Terraform and Vault. Additionally, the tutorial includes bonus materials such as a fully functioning 4-tier app, HashiCorp Terraform code, examples of using third-party providers as a certificate authority, and configuring a multi-region, multi-datacenter federation using mesh gateways with the official Consul Helm chart.
