Managing common configuration across microservices and environments can often result in manual, repetitive, and error-prone work. In this course, Spring Cloud Config Fundamentals, you’ll learn to externalize and centralize microservices configuration using a config server. First, you’ll explore setting up a Git repo backed Spring Cloud Config server. Next, you’ll discover how to securely point your client application to the config server, making use of hierarchical microservices configuration. You’ll then learn how to securely store secrets in config using encryption. Finally, you’ll learn how to refresh your applications config at runtime using messaging. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Spring Cloud Config Server needed to effectively manage your microservices configuration in production.
