Spring cloud-config provides a server and client-side support for externalized configuration in a distributed system. With the Config Server, you have a central place to manage external properties for applications across all environments.

From the above diagram, you can easily predict that in distributed systems managing configuration as a central service is a bit tedious task and spring cloud config provide client, server architecture mechanism to manage the configuration easily.
