#7A) Hashicorp, you are awesome.
B) This works really well in conjunction with registrator https://github.com/progrium/registrator which listens to Docker events and will automatically register your services with Consul.
I occasionally run into an issue where a node will be briefly marked as failing. This seems to clear up pretty quickly but I can't really figure out what is happening when this occurs. The nodes are all in the same DC and on their own private network. I also occasionally lose all running Docker containers on a particular node. I don't think that is related to Consul, just throwing that out there :)

#8For people interested in Distributed Systems the architecture[0] page is a treasure trove. The explanation of the gossip(SWIM) and consensus protocol(Raft) used is easy to understand and quite lucid.
It would be wonderful if all (most?) open-source projects have a such beautiful documentation explaining their architecture. Thank you Armon and team for sharing this with us!

(Note: I'm one of the folks who works at HashiCorp)
We don't have permission at this time to share some of our big users (we're working on approvals!), but I can say that that some very big companies you've certainly heard of and probably use right now have deployed Consul across every server. And Consuls deployment in just companies were working with is in the hundreds of thousands of machines.
At this point were very confident in its stability and it's well proven at very large scale.
If you're a big user and need references to other large users, email me and I'd be happy to set that up.

No community reaction doesn't mean anything. HN is so competitive these days, any submission HAS to get 5 upvotes within 10 minutes in order to reach the front page, and only when it reaches the front page will enough people upvote it. It's a catch-22.
