HashiCorp has released a set of new hands-on tutorials for deploying and using the Consul service mesh capabilities on Kubernetes, covering topics such as service discovery, deployment into a zero-trust network, and securing service-to-service communication. The tutorials aim to simplify networking in microservices architectures and cloud infrastructures by providing a software approach with broad compatibility. Consul's service mesh solution makes no assumptions about the underlying network and uses a focus on simplicity to address networking complications, allowing for easier deployment of applications into a zero-trust network.
