Mastering Spring Framework Fundamentals - Accessing the Current Active Profiles using the Environment Interface

The video tutorial explains the concept of Spring profiles, which allow applications to be configured for different environments like local and production. It introduces the key property 'spring.profiles.active' used to manage active profiles in a Spring application. The tutorial demonstrates how to implement the Environment Aware interface to access the environment object in the Spring container. It also covers debugging techniques to verify active profiles and print them for validation.
