For the externalized configuration to work, we need to set up a centralized configuration server. The configuration server will store and provide configuration data for the registered Spring Boot applications. In this section, we will develop a configuration server, and the accounting service that we developed earlier will serve as the configuration client.
The following is the POM file for the Spring Boot config server:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
