This is really awesome, distributed system techniques in the real world. I'm really jealous of what they've managed to build.
I was planning to make a tool like this (smaller scale, one machine), and this will certainly serve as a good guide on how to do it right (or whether I should even bother at all).
I can't find a trace of a standard/included slick web interface for managing the clusters and agents -- are they leaving this up to a 3rd party (by just providing the HTTP API and seeing what people will do with it)? Is that a good idea?

- hardwaresofton 13y agoI can only imagine how awesome it's going to be, given the excellent design (simple, readable, content-focused) of the other work you guys are doing. If I may ask, it seems like the design of the consul site is one step (iteration) away from the serf site (particularly, the docs pages -- some subtle changes made a large difference)... I agree with the others here, really dig the site, and big text definitely doesn't hurt deeply technical descriptions architecture page was very readable for me
- armon 13y agoYou are right, the Consul site is very heavily based on the Serf site. It's actually almost entirely just a re-skin of the same site. The design is a bit cleaner however, which does make it nicer to read.
