description: >-
|
|
Consul provides an optional Access Control List (ACL) system which can be used
|
|
to control access to data and APIs. The ACL system is a Capability-based
|
|
system that relies on tokens which can have fine grained rules applied to
|
|
them. It is very similar to AWS IAM in many ways.
