title: Does Consul persist the Key Value store?
body: <p>I'm evaluating a few distributed key-value stores, and <strong>etcd</strong> and <strong>Consul</strong> looks both very promising. I am interested in service discovery, health monitoring and config services. </p>
  
  <p>I like the extra features that Consul gives, but I cannot determine whether it persists the Key-Value store when the service goes down? It seems that etcd offers persistence. Any advice? </p>
