> We have integrated storage as an option now, so you don't need separate storage mechanisms.

Off topic, but seeing as you mentioned it - do you see the integrated Raft storage becoming the preferred solution? Without it, there's (IMHO) a bit of a chicken-and-egg bootstrapping problem between Vault and Consul.

Yes it will become the preferred solution. We just went GA with it (after a year of testing) in our last release. We’re now recommending this to customers. We’ll continue to provide support for Consul indefinitely and aren’t forcing customers to switch over.

(Note “support” above is literal human support. “Support” in terms of enabling that use case will be around indefinitely but planned forever, we’ll always support different storage backends. But for our paying customers, we only support Consul and integrated storage for the sake of providing good service.)

GA? And what kind of customers?

GA = general availability
