According to a recent press release, “HashiCorp, a leader in multi-cloud infrastructure automation software, announced the HashiCorp Consul Service (HCS) on Microsoft Azure in collaboration with Microsoft. The service will enable customers to natively provision highly available HashiCorp-managed Consul clusters in their Azure environments. With this service, customers gain the benefits of running Consul for service networking and as a service mesh without the operational overhead of running and maintaining Consul clusters themselves.”

The release goes on, “HashiCorp Consul is one of the leading multi-cloud service networking platforms to connect, secure, and configure services across any runtime platform or public cloud provider. Thousands of organizations use Consul in production to unlock the cloud operating model for networking. Consul helps them shift from static, IP-based networking to dynamic, identity-based networking, with many running tens of thousands of nodes of Consul in their environments. The announcement builds on the momentum of the multi-year collaboration between HashiCorp and Microsoft. Earlier this year, HashiCorp won the 2019 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award for Open Source Applications and Infrastructure on Azure.”

Mitchell Hashimoto, co-founder and CTO of HashiCorp, commented, “HashiCorp Consul provides critical functionality to users for service discovery and service mesh across any runtime platform or cloud provider. Our customers told us they wanted an easier and more secure way to adopt Consul… Now, with HashiCorp Consul Service on Microsoft Azure and our close collaboration with Microsoft, joint customers will be able to leave the operational work to us and focus on their core business instead.”
