# Consul Release Controller

Consul release controller enables automated Canary and Green / Blue releases of your application using Consul Service Mesh.

## Documentation

For information on how to install the release controller and full documentation [click here](https://nicholasjackson.io/consul-release-controller/)

## Why not Flagger / Argo / etc. ?

Consul Release Controller is designed to be cloud and platform agnostic, while it is a great tool to use with Kubernetes it allows a common

workflow on any platform supported by Consul such as Nomad, ECS, or Virtual machines. Since Consul Release Controller is specific to consul

service mesh it can leverage Consul full capabilities such as cross cloud deployments, or multi-platform canary releases (e.g. migrating applications

from on premise VMs to cloud based Nomad or Kubernetes). 

## Supported platforms [x] currently supported:

- [x] Kubernetes

- [x] Nomad

- [ ] ECS

- [ ] Virtual machines

- [ ] Cross platform deployments (e.g. ECS to Kubernetes, Virtual Machine to Nomad) 

- [x] Enterprise feature support

# Configuration

### TLS_CERT

Path to the TLS certificate file for securing the main restful API.

### TLS_KEY
