Question: Is this Consul Connect? #15

Closed oliveirafilipe closed 3 years ago

oliveirafilipe commented 3 years ago

Hey Folks! Hope this issue finds you all well! :smile:

I found this repo at Consul's Docs Page.

I became interested in the consul because of its Service Mesh capability.

In the Service Mesh overview documentation page and in this another example repository aws-samples/amazon-ecs-fargate-consul-connect-example, they talk about "Consult Connect", as if "Connect" were a specific service/functionality.

But I couldn't find any mention of "Connect" here in this repository, although I believe the purpose is the same.

Just to be sure: does this repository implement a "Consul Connect" example? Is "Connect" still a thing?

Hi Filipe, Yes this is for Consul Connect support!

We're trying to move away from the term "Consul Connect" and use "Consul" or "Consul Service Mesh" because we think it better explains the functionality so that's why there's no mention of it here but we should probably still add something about it to avoid confusion.
