Consul Product Updates & Future Vision 2022
summary
Consul introduces admin partitions (released in 1.11) to give per-cluster multi-tenancy on shared servers and a new cluster peering model (tech preview in 1.13) that replaces WAN federation with token-based, pairwise trust and selective service export. Vault integration handles Consul TLS rotation automatically. API Gateway reaches GA (Feb) based on Kubernetes Gateway API. Consul on ECS is GA and HCP Consul comes to Azure. A planned live demo attempts a cross-runtime mesh across four runtimes and three clouds.
