Getting started with Azure App Configuration | Azure Friday

Azure App Configuration is a service that enables you to centralize your application configuration. Built on the simple concept of key-value pairs, this service provides manageability, availability, and ease-of-use. You can use Azure App Configuration to store and retrieve settings for applications, microservices, platforms, and CI/CD pipelines.

You should explain how to set configuration programmatically through c#. The documentation for setting configuration NOT using the cli or portal is horrible.

[@Joe99]

Is this appropriate for storing secrets? Or is there integration with key vault?

[@alphastarmusic]

Highly sensitive like some license information should be in key vault do integration with app config and rest keep here like database info, key value pairs etc

How is this different from Azure Key Vaults? Looks like the same thing to me.

[@Alex-cd2xq]

key vault data is encrypted, app configs aren't. App configs can reference values from the key vault. So you use the combination of both. HOWEVER, I should also mention that under some circumstances you can just stick to using the key-vault.. There are some extension methods that allow you to bind the vault data to POCO classes :) Though, I would like to hear some explanation from MS as well.

"its just gross" hahahaa

[@rahulmathew8713]

Is it possible to use Azure App Configuration in a service fabric project. It easy to implement it in web api. But using Azure App Configuration service in a service fabric is causing the build server to fail as it is still looking for environment variables. There is poor documentation for service fabric and app configuration.

Not in Canada yet. Darn! : (

[@borys086]

would be nice to see a workable solution that includes storage of password. Otherwise it seems a bit of overkill to keep settings in one place and passwords in another

Pro trick : watch series at kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.

Azure needs a developer free platform how else can we as developers creat these apps for our customers any wonder people still stick to api and sql services.

[@philipphonsel]

I think most of these services have a free tier, which is limited in requests or storage, but more than enough for development purposes
