Could someone care to elaborate what are the main differences between Consul and Istio?
What would be the primary reasons to choose one service mesh over the other?
- anubhavmishra 8y agoHere is a section on the HashiCorp Consul website dedicated to it. https://www.consul.io/intro/vs/istio.html https://www.consul.io/intro/vs/istio.html I hope it helps
- cube2222 8y agoConsul is not a service mesh. At its core it's a distributed key-value store which is commonly used for service discovery, configuration management and healthchecks.
- lifty 8y agoConsul just became a service mesh. It’s in the release notes.
- jrs95 8y agoWell, I don't know how mature the service mesh aspects of Consul will be now, but the rest of it is a very mature product that provides a distributed K/V store like etcd and also provides service discovery via either REST or DNS.
