consul-kv: Store a new key-value pair.
$ consul kv put ${key} ${value}
try on your machine

The command "consul kv put ${key} ${value}" is used to store a key-value pair in the Consul key-value store.

Here's the breakdown:

  • "consul": This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with Consul, a distributed service mesh and key-value store.
  • "kv": This is the subcommand that specifies the operation to be performed in the key-value store.
  • "put": This is the specific operation being performed, which is putting/storing a key-value pair in the key-value store.

Variables:

  • "${key}": This is a placeholder for the key you want to store. Replace it with the actual key you want to use.
  • "${value}": This is a placeholder for the value corresponding to the key you want to store. Replace it with the actual value you want to store.

By running this command with the appropriate values for the key and value placeholders, you can store key-value pairs in the Consul key-value store for later retrieval and use by other services or applications.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
