HashiCorp Consul is a service mesh solution. A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that controls service-to-service communication in a microservices architecture. It manages the routing of service requests to other services, performs load balancing, encrypts data, and discovers other services.

▬▬▬▬▬▬ Course Pre-Requisites ▬▬▬▬▬▬
💡 Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS

👉 Microservices explained: https://youtu.be/rv4LlmLmVWk
👉 Service Mesh explained: https://youtu.be/16fgzklcF7Y
👉 Istio Setup Demo: https://youtu.be/voAyroDb6xk
👉 Kubernetes Crash Course: https://youtu.be/s_o8dwzRlu4

▬▬▬▬▬▬ What you’ll learn in 2 Hours ✅ ▬▬▬▬▬▬
► What service mesh is, what problems it solves in microservices architecture
► How service mesh and Consul specifically works
► How Consul works in Kubernetes multi-cluster, hybrid environments with VMs
► Consul Architecture (Control Plane and Data Plane)
► Learn about
– Proxy containers
– Dynamic Service Discovery
– Health Checks and Fault Tolerance
► Learn about secure networking – creating a zero-trust network:
– Mutual TLS – mTLS
– Authenticated Communication
– Control Traffic with Service Intentions
► Hands-on demo 🧑🏽‍💻
– create 2 K8s clusters on 2 different cloud platforms
– deploy microservices application and Consul on it
– configure failover, so in case one service is unhealthy or unreachable it routes the traffic to the healthy service instance on the other cloud platform

  • Any playground interactive realtimr projects labs available ??

  • why u r not showing your face , if u show your beautiful face it will be more easy to understand the concept

  • Great! Thanks for your content! It's pretty easy to understand all of service mesh concepts although english is not my native language

  • Hello Nana please what is the recommended order of deploying consul? Do you deploy the application manefest files first before the consul helm chats or vice versa? Thanks so much for your efforts and may you find the energy to continue doing what you are doing for the tech world

  • how about we extend this crash course videos to be a hashicorp stack series, where we get crash courses on all hashicorp products. (nomad, waypoint, …)

  • Thank you – Excellent – I love to know the matrix data before and after implementing the consul on a kubernetes cluster – like " kubectl top nodes " – Just to see, how much resources in terms of CPU and memory does consul consume . also can we live implement consul on a production kubernetes cluster ? with out deleting pods.

  • Thank you very much for your hard work Nana! Amazing explanation

  • learning curve and curiosity all of a sudden goes high when u comes up with new video…Devops comm is blessed to have u as a mentor
