  Description     : Consul is a tool for service discovery, monitoring
and configuration.

 Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is
distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
 .
 Consul provides several key features:
 .
  - Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to
register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP
interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered
as well.
 .
  - Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert
operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service
discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables
service level circuit breakers.
 .
  - Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing
dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election
and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
 .
  - Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can
support any number of regions without complex configuration.
 .
 Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. It is recommended to run
the Consul servers only on Linux, however.

This is needed for Docker 1.9.0.
