Prerequisites

  2. Place the Consul binaries into the project folder.
  3. Install the vagrant-hosts plugin: vagrant plugin install vagrant-hosts
  4. Run vagrant up /consul[0-5]/
  5. Wait until all 5 servers are up
  6. Run vagrant up /consulnew[0-5] in a new terminal
  7. Wait until all 5 new servers are up
  8. vagrant ssh consulnew0
  9. watch consul members
