Server agents maintain the service catalog and service mesh, including its security and consistency, while client agents manage communications between service instances, their sidecar proxies, and the servers. While this model is optimal for applications deployed on virtual machines or bare metal servers, orchestrators such as Kubernetes already include components called _kubelets_ that support health checking and service location functions typically provided by the client agent. -Consul Dataplane manages Envoy proxies and leaves responsibility for other functions to the orchestrator.
