HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) Consul is moving into general availability, allowing users to get started with service discovery and consuming service mesh within their AWS environments. The platform provides a managed offering for deploying and consuming HashiCorp Consul natively within AWS, enabling users to take advantage of its features such as service discovery, load balancing, and secure communication. Users can explore the HCP Virtual Network (HVN), peering operations, and deploy Consul clusters within the platform. The platform also provides a guided process for deploying Consul, including setting up cluster configurations, security groups, and routing tables. With the deployment of Consul, users can start connecting workloads to the control plane, leveraging tutorials and guides provided by HashiCorp Learn to get started with connecting platforms like EKS and EC2 instances.
