An operations team runs Consul across VM and Kubernetes clusters. They want to add read scalability and redundancy to the VM-based Consul cluster without increasing quorum-participating servers. Which Consul Enterprise feature should they use?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. Read replica nodes. Read replica nodes (a Consul Enterprise feature) allow additional server nodes to join the cluster and serve read requests without participating in quorum, providing read scalability without changing the quorum size. Option d is wrong because redundancy zones are a separate Enterprise feature that ensures at least one non-voting server remains available per zone for promotion, not specifically aimed at read scalability.
