1st Edition - Notes

• In 2016, I published two courses about Consul:
  • Getting Started with Consul
  • Deploying Consul
• Examples (for both courses) are available via github: Consul Getting Started.
  • 2nd Edition examples are new/modernized to compliment the 1st Edition examples.
• At this time I am only updating the 1st Edition Getting Started course.
  • That said, some updated materials may overlap with the Deploying course.
