Config Server
##############
-> As part of our application development we will use several configuration
properties
Ex:
a) data source properties
b) actuator properties
c) security properties
d) smtp properties
e) kafka properties
f) application messages etc..
-> As of now we configured those configuration properties in application.properties
/ application.yml file
-> application.properties / application.yml file will be available with in the
project
-> When we package our boot application for depeloyment our configuration
properites will be part of that packaged file
Note: If we want to change any configuration properties then we have to package our
application again and we have to re-deploy our application (This is not
recommended).
-> To avoid this problem we will keep configuration properties outside of the
project.
******************* Config server is used to externalize application configuration
properties *********************************
-> Using Config Server we can load Configuration Properties from outside of the
project
-> When we want to change any configuration properties we no need to re-package and
re-deploy our application
-> Using Config Server we can de-couple our application and configuration
properties
***********************************************************************************
*********************************************************
1) Create Git Hub Repository and keep configuration properties in git hub repo
Note: We need use application name for configuration properties/yml file name
Ex:
welcome.yml
welcome-dev.yml
welcome-prod.yml
admin.yml
admin-dev.yml
admin-prod.yml
reports.yml
reports-dev.yml
reports-prod.yml

1) Create Boot application with below dependencies
a) config-server
b) actuator
2) Write @EnableConfigServer annotation at boot start class
3) Configure below properties in application.yml file
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:

Microservice To Load Config Properties using Config Server (Config Client App)
######################################################################
1) Create Boot application with below dependencies
a) config-client
b) web-starter
c) cloud-bootstrap
2) Configure application name, application port, config-server-url, profile
a) bootstrap.yml (app-name & config-server-url)
spring:
application:
name: welcome
cloud:
config:
uri: http://localhost:8080
b) application.yml (server port)
server:
port: 9090
3) Create Rest Controller with required methods
@RestController
@RefreshScope
public class WelcomeRestController {
@Value("${msg:Config Server Not Working}")
private String msg;
@GetMapping("/")
public String getWelcomeMsg() {
return msg;
}
}
4) Run the application and test it.
