新 Consul 学习体验

新的 Consul 学习平台 现已上线。如果您是 Consul 的新手用户，您现在可以通过 入门 学习来了解 Consul 的使用。这个学习路径包括工作示例和视频教程。之后，我们将继续用更高级的内容来更新学习平台。

在过去的几周里，我们还发布了一些实践指南, 帮助您学习 Consul 并将其集成到基于云、基于微服务的基础架构中。

Consul on Minikube 教程和视频

通过我们的 Helm chart, 可以在您的 Kubernetes 集群上安装 Consul 服务器和客户端代理, 构建一个功能齐全的 Consul 集群变得更加容易。Minikube 在您的笔记本电脑上的 VM 中运行一个单节点 Kubernetes 群集, 供希望尝试 Kubernetes 或每天使用它开发的用户使用。通过这个实验室体验, 你可以用 Minikube 在你的本地机器上运行 Consul。 您将安装 Consul 并部署两个服务, 使用 Envoy sidecar 代理通过 Consul Connect 安全地相互通信。按照 代码 一步一步地或者观看一个可讲述整个过程的10分钟视频 。

Web Application on Consul

 

Consul-AWS 云地图

在 re:Invent 2018上, AWS 宣布了其新的服务发现工具 AWS 云地图的普遍可用。AWS 用户现在将能够发现 AWS 环境中的资源和服务, 进行运行状况检查, 并与其他服务网格产品集成, 如 HashiCorp Consul.

本简短的 功能指南假定您拥有一个现有的 Consul 集群以及在 AWS 云地图中注册的服务。您将学习如何从一个同步到另一个或双向同步。

Consul 模板动手指南

Consul 模板是一个独立的应用程序, 它可以查询 Consul 中的服务项、键和键值。 使用 consul-template, Consul 的键/键值的存储能够与任何基础结构上的任何应用程序兼容。 有了这个 分步指南, 您将读取 Consul 的一个值, 然后进一步读取 Consul 服务目录中的服务 IP 地址列表。

Consul 入门视频指南

我们现有的 Consul 入门指南是在您的本地机器上尝试 Consul 并了解核心概念的最简单方法。但我们明白, 你的时间很宝贵, 在文本旁边或代替文本观看视频往往更容易。我们为五个步骤创建了视频 可以在台式机、平板电脑或移动设备上查看。

我们希望你能发现新的资源和新的学习平台是有用的。请经常查看。

【原文】Introducing New Consul Learn Platform and New Resources: Kubernetes, AWS Cloud Map, and Many More

DEC 17 2018 KAIT CARTER

New Consul Learn experience

The new Learn platform for Consul is now live. If you are new to Consul, you can now complete the Getting Started learning path. This path includes working examples and video tutorials. We will continue to update the platform with more advanced content.

In the last few weeks, we also published several hands-on guides to help you learn and integrate Consul into your multi-cloud, microservice-based infrastructure.

Consul on Minikube guide and video

Building a fully functional Consul cluster just got a lot easier with the availability of our Helm chart for installing Consul servers and client agents on your Kubernetes cluster. Minikube runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a VM on your laptop for users looking to try out Kubernetes or develop with it day-to-day. With this lab exercise, you can run Consul on your local machine with Minikube. You'll install Consul and deploy two services that communicate with each other securely over Consul Connect using an Envoy sidecar proxy. Follow along with the code step by step or watch a 10-minute video that walks through the entire process.

Web Application on Consul

Consul-AWS Cloud Map

At re:Invent 2018, AWS announced the general availability of their new service discovery tool, AWS Cloud Map. AWS users will now have the capability to discover resources and services within AWS environments, conduct health checks, and integrate with other service mesh offerings, like HashiCorp Consul.

This brief feature guide assumes that you have an existing Consul cluster along with services registered in AWS Cloud Map. You'll learn how to sync from one to the other or bidirectionally.

Consul Template hands-on guide

Consul Template is a standalone application which can query service entries, keys, and key values in Consul. With consul-template, Consul's key/value store becomes compatible with any application on any infrastructure. With this step-by-step guide, you'll read a value from Consul and then go further to read a list of service IP addresses from Consul's service catalog.

Consul Getting Started video guides

Our existing Consul Getting Started guides are the easiest way to try Consul on your local machine and learn the core concepts. But we understand that your time is valuable and it's often easier to watch a video alongside or in place of the text. We've created videos for five of the steps that can be viewed on desktop, tablet, or mobile.

We hope you'll find the new resources and the new learn platform to be useful. Please check back frequently.
