Connect HTTP Endpoint

The /connect endpoints provide access to service mesh-related operations for intentions and the certificate authority.

There are also service mesh-related endpoints in the Agent and Catalog APIs. For example, the API for requesting a TLS certificate for a service is part of the agent APIs. And the catalog API has an endpoint for finding all mesh-capable services in the catalog.

The noun connect is used throughout this documentation to refer to the connect subsystem that provides Consul's service mesh capabilities. Where you encounter the noun connect, it is usually functionality specific to service mesh.
