Consul Vs. Chef, Puppet, Etc.

HashiCorp on Consul versus Chef, Puppet, etc.: It is not uncommon to find people using Chef, Puppet, and other configuration management tools to build service discovery mechanisms. This is usually done by querying global state to construct configuration files on each node during a periodic convergence run. Unfortunately, this approach has a number of pitfalls. The configuration information is static and cannot update any more frequently than convergence runs. Generally this is on the interval of many minutes or hours.
