Overview

The Cloud Config Server is accessed by a Spring Boot application with a Config Client.

The properties to configure the Config Client must be read before the rest of the application configuration is read from the Config Server, during the bootstrap phase. The bootstrap phase is configured by bootstrap.yml. bootstrap.yml is loaded earlier than any configuration.

Organizatorium

• To turn off the client: spring.cloud.config.enabled=false in bootstrap.yaml. Tested and it works.
