Managing ACL Permissions in HashiCorp Consul

Consul access control lists (ACLs) are critical components for shaping your service networking and security architecture. This talk will show you how they work in Consul OSS and how to take further advantage of them with namespaces in Consul Enterprise.

In this demo, Consul engineer Matthew Keeler goes from ACL permissions in one simple web service to a multi-service environment enabled by service discovery](https://www.consul.io/discovery.html). You'll then see namespaces in action, which can define and isolate ACLs by working groups within an organization.
