failure scenarios leading to data loss. A cluster of Consul servers is recommended
for each datacenter.
+The servers maintain a _catalog_, which is formed by aggregating information
+submitted by the agents. The catalog maintains the high-level view of the cluster,
+including which services are available, which nodes run those services, health
+information, and more. How agents and the catalog interact can be found

or nodes can query any of the Consul servers _or_ any of the Consul agents.
The agents forward queries to the servers automatically.
