Consul 1.20 improves multi-tenancy, metrics, and OpenShift deployment
HashiCorp Consul 1.20 is a significant upgrade for the Kubernetes operator and developer experience, including better multi-tenant service discovery, catalog registration metrics, and secure OpenShift integration. The latest release includes improvements for Kubernetes environments for both service discovery and service mesh use cases. It also introduces Consul DNS views, an enterprise feature that improves the usability of service discovery in multi-tenant environments and tightens security by allowing organizations to limit discovery between tenants. Additionally, Consul 1.20 now includes improved metrics for Consul catalog sync, resulting in more visibility for operators. Lastly, operators no longer need to provide elevated permissions to containers when using transparent proxy, resulting in tighter security in OpenShift deployments.
