consul-network-automation

Sample code snippets to demonstrate how Consul helps automate network infrastructure changes.

Prerequisites

• consul
• consul-template

Demo Environment

These examples were designed to be used with https://demo.consul.io

Getting started

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/kecorbin/consul-network-automation
cd consul-network-automation
export CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR=https://demo.consul.io

2. Review the .sh files, these create the templates for rendering device/tool/API specific configurations, as well as invoke consul-template to render them.
