With the advent of microservices, Kubernetes, public cloud, and hybrid computing, site reliability and DevOps engineers are facing more complexity than ever before.

Service mesh is an exciting new technology that promises to help tackle this complexity. A service mesh provides you with a unified control plane to manage the networking among your applications running on these distinct platforms. This definitive guide shows you how to automate networking for simple and secure application delivery with Consul.

Author Luke Kysow, Consul engineer at HashiCorp, demonstrates how this service mesh solution provides a software-driven approach to security, observability, and traffic management. Once you learn how to implement zero-trust networking by deploying Consul on multiple platforms, you'll be able to take control of application traffic, prevent outages, view metrics, integrate with legacy systems, and more.

Dive into the characteristics of service meshes, zero-trust networking, and traffic-shaping patterns
Deploy Consul on Kubernetes and virtual machines
Learn how to secure, monitor, and manage your application traffic with Consul
Use this guide to deploy and operate applications as a system administrator, DevOps engineer, or developer

Who Should Read This Book:
This book is written for everyone whose job is to continue to deliver secure and reliable software in these complex environments:

• Software engineers and developers
• Operators–DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, systems engineers and system administrators
• Security engineers and security teams
• Decision makers–managers, directors, engineering VPs and CTOs

This book starts with a high-level overview of service meshes and Consul that will give valuable context to those not directly involved in day-to-day application development and delivery but who still need to understand the issues at stake in order to make intelligent decisions. It then dives into the details with in-depth instructions on how to deploy and operate Consul. This will be invaluable for those who are tasked with evaluating or adopting Consul.
