Selecting the storage type of the configuration repository
As already described in Chapter 8, Introduction to Spring Cloud, in the Spring Cloud Config for centralized configuration section, the config server supports storing configuration files in a number of different backends, for example:
- Git repository
- Local filesystem
- HashiCorp Vault
- A JDBC database
In this chapter, we will use a local filesystem. To use the local filesystem, the config server needs to be launched with the Spring profile, native, enabled. The location of the configuration repository is specified using the property, spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations.
