as api or mysql, and other clients can use Consul to discover providers of a given service. Using either DNS or HTTP, applications can easily nd the services they depend upon. Health Checking Consul clients can provide any number of health checks, either associated with a given service ("is the webserver returning 200 OK"), or with the local node ("is memory utilization below 90%"). This information can be used by an operator to monitor cluster health, and it is used by the service discovery components to route tra c away from unhealthy hosts. 5 / 26 Key/Value Store Applications can make use of Consul's hierarchical key/value store for any number of purposes, including dynamic con guration, feature agging, coordination, leader election, and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use. Multi Datacenter Consul supports multiple datacenters out of the box. This means users of Consul do not have to worry about building additional layers of abstraction to grow to multiple regions. Ref: Introduction - Consul by HashiCorp
that provides services to Consul runs a Consul agent. Running an agent is not required for discovering other services or getting/setting key/value data. The agent is responsible for health checking the services on the node as well as the node itself. 6 / 26 The agents talk to one or more Consul servers. The Consul servers are where data is stored and replicated. The servers themselves elect a leader. While Consul can function with one server, 3 to 5 is recommended to avoid failure scenarios leading to data loss. A cluster of Consul servers is recommended for each datacenter. Components of your infrastructure that need to discover other services or nodes can query any of the Consul servers or any of the Consul agents. The agents forward queries to the servers automatically. Each datacenter runs a cluster of Consul servers. When a cross- datacenter service discovery or con guration request is made, the local Consul servers forward the request to the remote datacenter and return the result.
