Service Discovery
*****************

Overview
========

Wazo uses `consul <https://consul.io>`_ for service discovery. When a daemon is
started, it registers itself on the configured consul node.

`Consul template <https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template>`_ may be used to generate the
configuration files for each daemons that requires the availability of another
service. Consul template can also be used to reload the appropriate service.
