@ -37,7 +37,8 @@ As a result, small deployments require fewer resources overall. For deployments
**Simplified set up**: Because there are no client agents to engage in gossip, you do not have to generate and distribute a gossip encryption key to agents during the initial bootstrapping process. Securing agent communication also becomes simpler, with fewer tokens to track, distribute, and rotate.
**Additional environment and runtime support**: Current Consul on Kubernetes deployments require using `hostPorts` and `DaemonSets` for client agents, which limits Consul’s ability to be deployed in environments where those features are not supported. As a result, Consul Dataplane supports AWS Fargate and GKE Autopilot.
**Additional environment and runtime support**: Consul on Kubernetes versions *prior* to 1.0 (Consul 1.14) require using hostPorts and DaemonSets for client agents, which limits Consul’s ability to be deployed in environments where those features are not supported.
As of Consul on Kubernetes version 1.0 (Consul 1.14) with the new Consul Dataplane, `hostPorts` are no longer required and Consul now supports AWS Fargate and GKE Autopilot.
**Easier upgrades**: With Consul Dataplane, updating Consul to a new version no longer requires upgrading client agents. Consul Dataplane also has better compatibility across Consul server versions, so the process to upgrade Consul servers becomes easier.
