* Changes default Raft protocol to 3. * Changes numPeers() to report only voters. This should have been there before, but it's more obvious that this is incorrect now that we default the Raft protocol to 3, which puts new servers in a read-only state while Autopilot waits for them to become healthy. * Fixes TestLeader_RollRaftServer. * Fixes TestOperator_RaftRemovePeerByAddress. * Fixes TestServer_*. Relaxed the check for a given number of voter peers and instead do a thorough check that all servers see each other in their Raft configurations. * Fixes TestACL_*. These now just check for Raft replication to be set up, and don't care about the number of voter peers. * Fixes TestOperator_Raft_ListPeers. * Fixes TestAutopilot_CleanupDeadServerPeriodic. * Fixes TestCatalog_ListNodes_ConsistentRead_Fail. * Fixes TestLeader_ChangeServerID and adjusts the conn pool to throw away sockets when it sees io.EOF. * Changes version to 1.0.0 in the options doc. * Makes metrics test more deterministic with autopilot metrics possible. |

Consul
- Website: https://www.consul.io
- Chat: Gitter
- Mailing list: Google Groups
Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
Consul provides several key features:
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows.
Quick Start
An extensive quick start is viewable on the Consul website:

Documentation
Full, comprehensive documentation is viewable on the Consul website:
Developing Consul
If you wish to work on Consul itself, you'll first need Go installed (version 1.9+ is required). Make sure you have Go properly installed, including setting up your GOPATH.
Next, clone this repository into $GOPATH/src/github.com/hashicorp/consul
and
then just type make
. In a few moments, you'll have a working consul
executable:
$ make
...
$ bin/consul
...
Note: make
will build all os/architecture combinations. Set the environment variable CONSUL_DEV=1
to build it just for your local machine's os/architecture, or use make dev
.
Note: make
will also place a copy of the binary in the first part of your $GOPATH
.
You can run tests by typing make test
.
If you make any changes to the code, run make format
in order to automatically
format the code according to Go standards.
Vendoring
Consul currently uses govendor for vendoring.
