How to spin up a HCS managed consul cluster and have it ready to connect to via an AKS cluster
Containerize backend application and run it up on AKS
Connect backend application to new consul DC running on HCS
Set up consul connect to allow the front-end app running on Azure VMs routing access to the new backend-app running on AKS
