Enterprise service networking with HashiCorp Consul and AWS (PRT238)
summary
HashiCorp Consul is used to register services across EKS, ECS, EC2 and Lambda, with Envoy sidecars, Prometheus/Grafana metrics, and a Terraform sync module; certificate issuance and rotation, mutual TLS, and intentions are automated. Comcast runs this across multiple regions (US‑West‑1/2) and >10,000 CIDR blocks supporting 60M homes and 1.3 trillion DNS lookups/day; a demo app (Hashicups) spans four runtimes in two regions and performs live failover via mesh gateways and traffic splitters with no code changes.
