Consul Product Updates & Future Vision [Abridged] 2022
summary
Consul adds concrete features: Admin partitions in Consul Enterprise 1.11 (Dec) give per-cluster catalogs, namespaces, ACLs and delegated mesh control but only within a region. Consul 1.13 introduces cluster peering so clusters keep independent keys/catalogs while operators explicitly export services to peers, replacing WAN federation’s single-primary model. An API Gateway reached GA after a Jan beta/Feb GA, ECS support is GA, and HCP Managed Consul expands to Azure. Roadmap focuses on automating multi-cluster workflows and migrating federation patterns.
