Consul Product Updates and Vision - HashiConf 2022
summary
Announces concrete features and availability: cluster peering lets independent Consul clusters exchange explicitly exported services for cross-team connectivity and HA failover, with per-service failover targets and health-based routing; HCP Console becomes a central management plane (tech preview end of month) for bootstrapping and viewing self-managed and HCP-managed clusters; the new Consul data plane replaces client agents, removes gossip in favor of gRPC, simplifies upgrades and enables EKS Fargate and other envs (beta now); Consul on AWS Lambda is GA, Lambda‑to‑mesh is beta, Windows Server 2019 support and AWS Wavelength demos are available.
