Summary

HashiCorp Consul has been re-launched on AWS with a new Quick Start Guide that incorporates the latest features and best practices for security and high availability. The guide supports ACM Private CA for Load Balancers, enabling secure traffic to VPCs through Classic Load Balancers. Consul's Autopilot feature automates server management, introducing new servers as needed while monitoring cluster state and cleaning up unused ones. Additionally, the Consul Connect Service Mesh has been enabled by default in the guide, allowing users to start using its capabilities immediately. The updated guide is designed to help users get started with Consul or deploy it into their existing environment, ensuring they are aware of the latest features offered by Consul.
