Consul Service Discovery. Part 2

In the first part we considered in depth what problems and tasks can be solved by application distributed architecture. We defined what tools can be used for solving these problems and marked the importance of discovery implementation at the setting stage of the project. We also chose Consul as a base application for discovery – service implementation.

In the second part we will review Consul’s work with DNS protocol, describe the main requests to HTTP API, clarify what types of Health Check can be used and, of course, find out the importance of K/V storage. And what is more important – we will become familiar with some of the features in practice.
