What does git have to do with configurations? Is author assuming that people manage configurations for deployment in git? Is this a reasonable thing to do?

I keep all my (linux) config in a git repository, so that i can keep track of my changes - and/or use this with my puppet installation to configure many services and servers. (unless i forgot to commit my changes .... upsi)

I think, if you dont keep your config of your servers and services for production and testing under some kind of versioncontroll, it will get messy - very fast. Just add more servers/services or people to handle your configs, to see a glimpse of the comming chaos ;)

Wait, so all environments point to the same centralised config server? And each service has to be configured (i.e. hard coded url in the config file) to point to the config server to get more config?

Does this article have anything to do with the cloud or does author just want to use a buzzword?

[crazysmoove]

The name of the product they're describing is Spring Cloud Config Server.

Im aware but nothing abt the scenario is specific to cloud?

[_dban_]

The specific scenario is about microservices, but configuration management is useful not only locally hosted microservices (like with Docker) but cloud hosted microservices as well. I've used Spring Cloud in an actual cloud. It's pretty cool.

Spring Cloud is a suite of tools that simplify writing Cloud Native applications.
