This deployment guide covers the steps required to install and configure a single HashiCorp Consul cluster as defined in the Consul Reference Architecture.
Below are instructions for installing and configuring Consul on Linux hosts running the systemd system and service manager.
This deployment guide is designed to work in combination with the Consul Reference Architecture. Although not a strict requirement to follow the Consul Reference Architecture, please ensure you are familiar with the overall architecture design; for example installing Consul on multiple physical or virtual (with correct anti-affinity) hosts for high-availability.
