These scenarios are divided into 3 categories of target environment:

1. Local - to be run on a single workstation
2. Kubernetes - to be run on a Kubernetes cluster
3. VMs - to be run in separate VMs

Local

Prequisites

• On Mac, have Consul and Envoy installed via Homebrew
• On Linux, install Consul and Envoy via the package manager. Envoy won't work for ARM64

See install-server.sh.

Basic

Run dev agent (both server and client)

consul agent -dev

Run in the background

consul agent -config-dir=./consul-scenarios/consul.d -dev > ./consul-scenarios/logs/test-one.log &

# Show the jobs
jobs 
# [1]+  Running                 consul agent -config-dir=./consul-scenarios/consul.d -dev > ./consul-scenarios/logs/test-one.log &

# Cancel the jobs 
fg %1
# <ctrl+c>

Run dev agent with configuration file

consul agent -config-dir=./consul-scenarios/dev-peering.hcl -dev

To add a service, just use both one of the dev, server or client files in conjunction with the HCL service definition.
