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:

  1. Append sidecar service when registering service with Consul.
  2. Support upstream configuration
  3. 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

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points to begin with. First map the existing Consul service registration, upstream configuration, and service-call paths, then define and validate support for the three requested service-mesh behaviors.
