Description
Is there a plan to support Consul Service Mesh? Spring Cloud Service Discovery cannot be used directly under the Service Mesh architecture. I envision Spring Cloud Consul providing the following support:
- Append sidecar service when registering service with Consul.
- Support upstream configuration
- When the service mesh is enabled, the service call is changed to request 127.0.0.1 and the port points to the upstream configured in the sidecar
