Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 01 – Part 1 – Introduction to Limits Microservice and Spri

The video tutorial introduces the concept of centralized application configuration, focusing on Spring Cloud Config Server. It explains the challenges of managing configurations for numerous microservices across different environments and how Spring Cloud Config Server can centralize this process by using a Git repository. The tutorial uses the limit service as an example to demonstrate configuration management and outlines practical steps for implementation.

Why is centralized configuration important for microservices?

• It reduces the number of microservices needed.

• It simplifies the management of configurations across multiple environments.

• It eliminates the need for a database.

• It allows microservices to function without any configuration.

What role does the Spring Cloud Config Server play in microservice configuration?

• It automatically scales microservices based on load.

• It replaces the need for a Git repository.

• It provides a centralized way to manage and serve configurations.

• It acts as a database for storing microservices.

How does the Spring Cloud Config Server obtain configurations for microservices?

• It retrieves them from a database.

• It generates configurations automatically.

• It fetches them from a Git repository.

• It uses a built-in configuration file.

In the practical example, what is the purpose of the Limit Service?

• To demonstrate how to connect a service to the Spring Cloud Config Server.

• To serve as a load balancer for microservices.

• To replace the Spring Cloud Config Server.

• To act as a database for configurations.

What is the first step in setting up the Spring Cloud Config Server with a microservice?

• Create a new microservice.

• Store configurations in a Git repository.

• Install a database.

• Write a configuration file for each environment.
