How to use the Backstage HCP Consul plugin

HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) Consul Central can be integrated with Backstage, a popular open platform for building developer portals, to enhance infrastructure management capabilities. To do this, users need to install the HCP Consul frontend and backend plugins (`plugin-hcp-consul` and `plugin-hcp-consul-backend`) and configure Consul in their app-config.yaml file. The plugins provide user interfaces within Backstage for managing Consul configurations and display service instances in the Backstage component. After installation, users can leverage the benefits of HCP Consul integration with Backstage to explore new features, manage configurations, and enhance infrastructure orchestration capabilities.
