Description

Within the elastic and dynamic nature of cloud computing, efficient and accurate service discovery provides the cornerstone for all communications. HashiCorp Consul facilitates this service discovery efficiently and securely, independent of the operating environment. This book will help you build a solid understanding of both the concepts and applications of HashiCorp Consul. You'll begin by finding out what you can do with Consul, focusing on the conceptual views of configuration samples along with Terraform code to expedite lab environment and hands-on experimentation, which will enable you to apply Consul effectively in your everyday lives. As you advance, you'll learn how to set up your own Consul cluster and agents in a single datacenter or location and understand how Consul utilizes RAFT and GOSSIP protocols for communication. You'll also explore the practical applications of primary Consul use cases, including communication flows and configuration and code examples. With that knowledge, you'll extend Consul across datacenters to discuss the applicability of multiple regions, multiple clouds, and hybrid cloud environments. By the end of this Consul book, you will have the tools needed to create and operate your own Consul cluster and be able to facilitate your service discovery and communication.

Who is this book for?

If you are a solutions architect, DevOps engineer, or anyone new to the cloud-native framework looking to get started with using Consul, then this book is for you.

I absolutely loved this book. Rob does a great job of breaking up the technical complexities associated with the product into small bites. He has alot of references that help keep the book interesting. It reminded me of one of the first tech books I read on Novell Netware where they helped explain concepts with super heroes. Rob goes through the base components of Consul as well as gets you up and running with Terraform code so that way you can go through this in a hands on manner.I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into Consul and wants a jumping off point.

This book starts with great introduction and goes on to give the overview of all required things. Very useful book indeed with detailed explanation. Combined with real world examples and theoretical knowledge wherever required, this book sums it up and presents things that it promises.

E. Featherston Dec 03, 2021

One of the challenges I always find in technical books, is so many get lost in the theory and talk from above. Ooe of the things I enjoyed about this book is the conversational tone and style the author has, so you feel like you are being talked to at same level, not lectured from on high. He also presents the topic in real world discussion and examples, and walks you through things step by step. Great intro to the product from my view

I have purchased this book for preparation of hashicorp consul associate exam, which I passed recently. This book is not the material which is helpful for the exam. It uses terraform heavily which is very wrong, as many are not familiar with terraform. The concepts are not fully explained. The code is difficult to follow and I did not learn anything from this book. Many required concepts are simply omitted.If you are considering to attempt associate exam, use official documentation. It will be more useful than this book.
