Getting Started with Consul Service Mesh for Virtual Machines
In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure Consul as a service mesh to encrypt and control traffic between services on virtual machines.
17min
Secure Service Communication with Consul Service Mesh and Envoy
Gain hands-on experience with Consul service mesh and Envoy as a sidecar proxy.
5min
Visualize Service Mesh Communication in the Consul UI
Visualize the communication flow between services registered in your mesh with the topology diagram in the Consul UI.
12min
Consul Service Mesh in Production
Understand best practices for running Consul service mesh in production.
17min
Traffic Splitting for Service Deployments
Split layer-7 traffic, using Envoy proxies configured by
Consul, to roll out a new version of a service. You can use this method for
zero-downtime, blue-green, and canary deployments.
11min
Implement Circuit Breaking in Consul Service Mesh with Envoy
Configure passive health checking in Consul service mesh to detect outliers and exclude unhealthy service instances from receiving traffic.
15min
Load Balancing Services in Consul Service Mesh with Envoy
Manage traffic across services within Consul service mesh with Envoy load balancing policies.
15min
Application Aware Intentions with Consul Service Mesh
Enhance Consul security by creating service (L7) intentions for services registered in the mesh.
19min
Connect Services Across Datacenters with Mesh Gateways
Connect two services across datacenters using Consul service mesh, intention replication, WAN gossip federation, and mesh gateways.
15min
Understand Terminating Gateways
Understand how terminating gateways, Consul's egress proxies, can provide connectivity to external destinations by terminating mTLS connections, enforcing Consul intentions, and forwarding requests to appropriate destination services.
13min
Connect External Services to Consul With Terminating Gateways
Enable communication with an external service using terminating gateways and Envoy as a sidecar proxy.
14min
Allow External Traffic Inside Your Service Mesh With Ingress Gateways
Enable inbound communications to an internal service mesh service using ingress gateways and Envoy as a sidecar proxy.
15min
Integrate Consul with Ambassador Edge Stack on Kubernetes
Use Ambassador Edge Stack to route requests using Consul's service discovery.
16min
Extend your Service Mesh to Support AWS Lambda
Learn how to configure AWS Lambda functions to interact with Consul service mesh. Replace a Kubernetes service deployment with an AWS Lambda function.
