I know the hashicorp stack fairly well as we run packer and terraform to provision our production environment and we've considered rolling out consul.

I'm so glad you're killing a product. My complaint has always been that hashicorp was doing so many different products it was unable to actually deliver any of them at high quality.

Packer is a reliable and trusty piece of tech for us, but terraform (which has so much potential) is also so rough around the edges we've wrapped it in a mess of our own tooling to make it somewhat usable.

I hope you can find a way to focus on one or two things and do them well.
