Summary

HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has released a new Terraform module for Amazon EKS and EC2, and a new HashiCorp Learn guide for deploying HCP Consul on Amazon ECS. The new Terraform module simplifies the HCP Consul onboarding experience by combining AWS and HCP Terraform resources into a single module abstraction. It provides preconfigured blocks of code that perform specific tasks during a Terraform apply, enabling users to automate both HCP and workload deployments in their Amazon Web Services virtual private cloud (VPC). The new module encompasses client installations and a demo app that enable users to quickly evaluate Consul's capabilities, including service meshes and service discovery. To run the demos, users need to create a service principal, which can be done by following a video tutorial provided by HashiCorp.
