Which of the following are true about running Consul in development mode? (select three)
A . development mode allows you to easily experiment with most of Consul’s functionality
B. development mode is not secure
C. it is acceptable to run development mode in a production environment
D. development mode is easily scalable
E. development mode should never be used in a production environment

Answer: A,B,E

Explanation:

Running Consul in development mode is not secure or scalable but does let you quickly experiment with most of Consul’s functionality without extra configuration. Development mode does not use TLS to secure communications. Therefore, it is not secure.

Development mode runs the Consul as an in-memory server. Therefore, it is limited to a single node and is not scalable. Because Consul dev mode runs only on a single node, it is not suited for production environments.
