Trying out the Spring Cloud Configuration server

Now it is time to try out the config server:

1. First, we build from source and run the test script to ensure that everything fits together.
2. Next, we will try out the config server API to retrieve the configuration for our microservices.
3. Finally, we will see how we can encrypt and decrypt sensitive information, for example, passwords.

Building and running automated tests

So now we build and run, as follows:

1. First, build the Docker images with the following commands:

cd $BOOK_HOME/Chapter12
./gradlew build && docker-compose build

2. Next, start the system landscape in Docker and run the usual tests with the following command:

./test-em-all.bash start
