In this chapter, we have explored the importance of service discovery and registration, as well as centralized configuration patterns. We have implemented them using the Spring Cloud Netflix Eureka and Spring Cloud Config libraries. The Eureka UI shows all the registered service instances that are available for discovery and can be consumed by other services.
In the next chapter, we'll see how we can consume the service instances that are available on the Eureka Server registry. We will also explore a few more patterns that are important for the effective implementation of microservices-based systems.
