About HashiCorp Consul

A multi-cloud service networking platform to connect and secure services across any runtime platform and public or private cloud. Real-time health and location information of all services. Progressive delivery and zero trust security with less overhead. Receive peace of mind that all HCP connections are secured out of the box. Gain insight into service health and performance metrics with built-in visualization directly in the Consul UI or by exporting metrics to a third-party solution. Many modern applications have migrated towards decentralized architectures as opposed to traditional monolithic architectures. This is especially true with microservices. Since applications are composed of many inter-dependent services, there's a need to have a topological view of the services and their dependencies. Furthermore, there is a desire to have insight into health and performance metrics for the different services.

etcd
etcd
etcd is a strongly consistent, distributed key-value store that provides a reliable way to store data that needs to be accessed by a distributed system or cluster of machines. It gracefully handles leader elections during network partitions and can tolerate machine failure, even in the leader node. Store data in hierarchically organized directories, as in a standard filesystem. Watch specific keys or directories for changes and react to changes in values.
