Summary
HashiCorp's Consul-Terraform-Sync solution automates the process of updating values of objects in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) by leveraging service discovery, configuration, and segmentation functionality across several environments. This allows for real-time updates to IP addresses or other node attributes, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The solution uses HashiCorp's Consul as a data source and Terraform as an automation tool to drive changes to the network infrastructure. By integrating Cisco Secure Firewall with Consul-Terraform-Sync, organizations can achieve agile solutions for tracking dynamic changes in cloud environments.
