Consul Connect is the service mesh subsystem of HashiCorp Consul. Connect provides service identity, mTLS, traffic authorization via intentions, and L7 traffic management through Envoy sidecar proxies. Consul Connect ships with a built-in certificate authority that can also be backed by Vault or external PKI, supports mesh, terminating, ingress, and API gateways, and spans virtual machines, Kubernetes, AWS ECS, AWS Lambda, and Nomad runtimes.
