Consul 1.12 Hardens Security on Kubernetes with Vault

HashiCorp has released Consul 1.12, which enhances zero trust security architecture by leveraging HashiCorp Vault to reduce secrets sprawl and automate server TLS certificate rotation for Consul on Kubernetes users. The update also helps users better understand their Consul datacenter status and access control list (ACL) system behavior. Additionally, the release includes improved ACL troubleshooting and a new GUI overview page for easier navigation and understanding of the Consul installation's health and configuration.
