HashiCorp Consul Enterprise Supports VMware NSX Service Mesh Federation

The Consul Team has partnered with VMware to support the Service Mesh Federation Specification, enabling secure communication between different service mesh solutions. This specification defines a common standard for service mesh federation, allowing services running in separate meshes to communicate as if they were running in the same mesh. Consul Enterprise implements the Service Mesh Federation Spec via its new federation service, which communicates with NSX-SM's federation service to keep service lists in sync. With service synchronization achieved, Consul services can now talk to remote services as if they were running in the same cluster, using TLS encryption under the hood. This enables flexibility and interoperability between different mesh deployments, allowing traffic to flow securely beyond individual mesh boundaries.
