My main use case for HashiCorp Consul is that we use it as a registry and a health checker and as a service mesh, and we store our configurations in a key-value store and secrets. A quick specific example of how we use HashiCorp Consul for service mesh or health checks in my environment is that we store our secrets, keys, certificate values, companies, and client secrets in HashiCorp Consul.

I perform infrastructure provisioning and many other activities across different cloud providers. HashiCorp Terraform is a very useful tool for tracking resources. We use HashiCorp Vault and HashiCorp Terraform as ideal tools to provision infrastructure in the cloud using simple code. HashiCorp Enterprise Cloud helps us store the state file, which is a great utility for us. When using HashiCorp Enterprise Cloud for Terraform provisioning, we can provision resources even though some errors may be occurring with different resources without any stopper or show stopper. I can provision new resources even though existing errors persist, which is one of the great features from my perspective. For API capability to integrate with other models, we are planning to integrate it, but I did not have any exposure yet. We had a discovery that we need to use the API endpoint to integrate with our existing AI model so that any provisioning can be automated with the AI itself. When I have different environments, I can store variables using HashiCorp Consul. Consider that I'm using the same code for all environments. Using KMS value, I can use the same code in a different environment, which means I'm variablizing it. Only the prod and dev naming conventions may change, nothing more than that. When I'm using this KMS, I can integrate with the same code and re-provision it in any environment.
