This is a sample repo of examples for getting started with Consul. It even includes a multi datacenter example with 14 VMs to allow you to simulate failures in a multi DC environment!
I've noticed that the upstart.conf has a variable to pass along for the consul process.
However, using consul 0.7.0, the process spins up with dc = "consul", which means that no configuration is passing the string "dc1" (I've tried searching the repo, but couldn't find it)
Using Consul 0.7.1 on my "desktop" node, the process starts up as 'dc1'. I assume then that this minor change in behavior could confuse a few people.
Wouldn't be better to explicitly set the datacenter 'dc1'?

PS: Great courses, keep up the good work!
