Azure App Configuration is a centralized configuration store service that offers a simple and flexible solution for storing key-value configuration data. Cloud service running in a wide-scale infrastructure requires a robust configuration management service to handle changes at a centralized location.
A majority of the modern-application architecture is cloud-based nowadays. Organizations building the application often deal with increasing complexity and handling configuration to keep the application configuration secure and safe. Azure App Configuration solves that issue by providing a secure mechanism to store and access configuration settings outside the application code.
In this hands-on lab, you will understand how to reference configuration settings from App Configuration directly from the application's source code.
