Daniel Nephin d0578c6dfc ca: extract the lookup of the active primary CA This method had only one caller, which always looked for the active root. This commit moves the lookup into the method to reduce the logic in the one caller. This is being done in preparation for a larger change. Keeping this separate so it is easier to see. The `storedRootID != primaryRoots.ActiveRootID` is being removed because these can never be different. The `storedRootID` comes from `provider.ActiveRoot`, the `primaryRoots.ActiveRootID` comes from the store `CARoot` from the primary. In both cases the source of the data is the primary DC. Technically they could be different if someone modified the provider outside of Consul, but that would break many things, so is not a supported flow. If these were out of sync because of ordering of events then the secondary will soon receive an update to `primaryRoots` and everything will be sorted out again.		3 years ago

Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.

Consul provides several key features:

Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
Service Mesh/Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization. Applications can use sidecar proxies in a service mesh configuration to establish TLS connections for inbound and outbound connections without being aware of Connect at all.
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.

Consul runs on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows and includes an optional browser based UI. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.

Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
