Using HashiCorp Consul with Kong Ingress Controller for Kubernetes

You can use Kong Ingress Controller for Kubernetes with Consul's service mesh to manage traffic to and between your Kubernetes services. By deploying Consul and Kong, you can define and control traffic to Kong Gateway, a UI service, and a web service using Consul intentions. You can also use Kong's rate-limiting plugin to limit the requests to the ui service and manage north-south traffic. Additionally, you can use Consul's application-aware intentions and traffic shaping to shape traffic between services in a Kubernetes cluster, such as splitting traffic between two versions of a service.
