In this chapter, we will learn how to use the Spring Cloud Configuration server to centralize managing the configuration of our microservices. As already described in Chapter 1, Introduction to Microservices, an increasing number of microservices typically come with an increasing number of configuration files that need to be managed and updated.With the Spring Cloud Configuration server, we can place the configuration files for all our microservices in a central configuration repository that will make it much easier to handle them. Our microservices will be updated to retrieve their configuration from the configuration server at startup.The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Introduction to the Spring Cloud Configuration server
  • Setting up a config server
  • Configuring clients of a config server
  • Structuring the configuration repository
  • Trying out the Spring Cloud Configuration server
