What is Azure App Configuration?
Modern applications, especially running in a cloud, generally have many components that are distributed in nature. There are multiple applications running in different geographical locations and a single solution may have different services running on different platforms like App Services, Virtual Machines, Azure Functions, etc. Managing application configuration settings across these components is difficult. And when issues come up, it’s even more difficult to troubleshoot issues. Having a centralized location to store your application configurations helps to solve these issues. One key recommendation from this guide is to separate configuration from code. In this case, an application’s configuration settings should be kept external to its executable and read in from its run-time environment or an external source. Use App Configuration to store all the settings for your application and secure their access in one place.
