HashiCorp Consul Service (HCS) on Azure can now be managed using Terraform Cloud, allowing for greater collaboration and automation of cloud networking. HCS provides a fully-managed service for cloud networking automation, enabling customers to discover and automate connections between services running in both Azure Kubernetes Service clusters and Azure VMs without worrying about managing their own Consul deployment. Terraform Cloud can be used to manage the deployment of HCS and services that interact with it, layering on additional guardrails to ensure consistent and compliant changes. By using Terraform Cloud, customers can enable multiple operators to interact with the HCS environment while maintaining control over their infrastructure as code. The process involves setting up a Git repository, configuring Terraform Cloud variables, and then configuring the Consul Terraform provider. This allows for the deployment of workloads into HCS on Azure, enabling the setup of intentions to allow communication between services. By using this approach, customers can automate the management of their Consul environment and ensure consistent configuration across multiple environments.
