This got me thinking. Consul is one of those infrastructure services that is generally deployed in a standard way, and most services that use it are relatively small, writing only a few configs and mainly using it to achieve HA. That makes hosting your own 3-5 node Consul cluster relatively expensive, simply because it requires 3-5 nodes.
Is there any interest here in a shared, multi-tenant, HA Consul cluster? (I know Consul doesn't support multi-tenant OOTB outside of Enterprise edition, but it should be possible to build a multi-tenant cluster by other means).
The idea would be that instead of paying to run your own 3-5 nodes, someone else would do it for you, but multiple tenants would use the same cluster - so you'd only pay something like $10/m instead of several times that.
