Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 10 – Configuring Profiles for Limits Service

The video tutorial explains how to use Spring Cloud Config Server to manage configurations for a limit service. It covers setting up bootstrap properties, configuring dev and QA profiles, and the importance of separating configuration from deployment using a Git repository. The tutorial also demonstrates how to commit changes to Git and refresh configurations by restarting the application or using a refresh URL.

What is the primary advantage of using a Spring Cloud Config Server for configuration management?

• It requires no external repository.

• It eliminates the need for profiles.

• It allows configurations to be hardcoded in the application.

• It separates configuration from deployment.

How can you set an active profile for the limit service?

• By changing the default profile.

• By modifying the server URI.

• By using the spring.profiles.active property.

• By editing the application.properties file.

Which method is NOT mentioned for passing the active profile?

• Using Java application arguments.

• Using VM arguments.

• Using bootstrap properties.

• Using environment variables.

Why might changes not be reflected immediately after modifying configuration files?

• The application needs to be restarted.

• The default profile is still active.

• The server URI is incorrect.

• The changes are not committed to the Git repository.

What action is necessary to apply changes from the Git repository to the limit service?

• Restart the application.

• Modify the bootstrap properties.

• Switch to a different profile.

• Change the server URI.

What happens when you change the profile to QA?

• The application stops working.

• The application uses default values.

• The application picks up QA-specific configurations.

• The application requires a new URI.

How are different environment configurations managed for the limit service?

• By setting them in the server URI.

• By using a single configuration file.

• By storing them in the Git repository.

• By hardcoding them in the application.
