We are pleased to announce the general availability of Consul-Terraform-Sync (CTS) 0.6. This release marks another step in the maturity of our larger Network Infrastructure Automation (NIA) solution.

CTS combines the functionality of HashiCorp Terraform and HashiCorp Consul to eliminate manual ticket-based systems across on-premises and cloud environments. Its capabilities can be broken down into two parts: For Day 0 and Day 1, teams use Terraform to quickly deploy network devices and infrastructure in a consistent and reproducible manner. Once established, teams manage Day 2 networking tasks by integrating Consul’s catalog to register services into the system via CTS. Whenever a change is recorded to the service catalog, CTS triggers a Terraform run that uses partner ecosystem integrations to automate updates and deployments for load balancers, firewall policies, and other service-defined networking components.
