## Summary

This is a Go library used to launch one or more Consul clusters that can be
peered using the cluster peering feature. Under the covers `terraform` is used
in conjunction with the
[`kreuzwerker/docker`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/kreuzwerker/docker/latest)
provider to manage a fleet of local docker containers and networks.

### Configuration

The complete topology of Consul clusters is defined using a topology.Config
which allows you to define a set of networks and reference those networks when
assigning nodes and workloads to clusters. Both Consul clients and
`consul-dataplane` instances are supported.

Here is an example configuration with two peered clusters:

```
cfg := &topology.Config{
    Networks: []*topology.Network{
        {Name: "dc1"},
        {Name: "dc2"},
        {Name: "wan", Type: "wan"},
    },
    Clusters: []*topology.Cluster{
        {
            Name: "dc1",
            Nodes: []*topology.Node{
                {
                    Kind: topology.NodeKindServer,
                    Name: "dc1-server1",
                    Addresses: []*topology.Address{
                        {Network: "dc1"},
                        {Network: "wan"},
                    },
                },
                {
                    Kind: topology.NodeKindClient,
                    Name: "dc1-client1",
                    Workloads: []*topology.Workload{
                        {
                            ID:             topology.ID{Name: "mesh-gateway"},

                        Consumers: []api.ServiceConsumer{{
                            Peer: "peer-dc2-default",
                        }},
                    }},
                },

    Peerings: []*topology.Peering{{
        Dialing: topology.PeerCluster{
            Name: "dc1",
        },
        Accepting: topology.PeerCluster{
            Name: "dc2",
        },
    }},
}
```

Once you have a topology configuration, you simply call the appropriate
`Launch` function to validate and boot the cluster.

You may also modify your original configuration (in some allowed ways) and call
`Relaunch` on an existing topology which will differentially adjust the running
infrastructure. This can be useful to do things like upgrade instances in place
or subly reconfigure them.

### For Testing

It is meant to be consumed primarily by unit tests desiring a complex
reasonably realistic Consul setup. For that use case use the `sprawl/sprawltest` wrapper:

```
func TestSomething(t *testing.T) {
    cfg := &topology.Config{...}
    sp := sprawltest.Launch(t, cfg)
    // do stuff with 'sp'
}
```
