Consul is like etcd but has some extra features built in like service discovery and l7 proxy so they market it as full blown service mesh a la istio, the other two are spot on
- mianos 5y agoI think this is more correct. Like Etcd in that it is a distributed kv store with consensus. It has a dns interface that facilitates service discovery but it can be used for so much more. Infrastructure like global locks, coordination or even just a fault tolerant kv database, as it is for vault itself.
