How do microservices manage configuration in cloud?

Mid Microservices
Quick Answer Cloud config management: use cloud-native config services (AWS Parameter Store, GCP Secret Manager, Azure App Config). Mount config as environment variables or files into containers. Use GitOps for infrastructure config (ArgoCD, Flux). Never bake config into images - same image should run in dev, staging, and prod with different config injected at runtime.

Answer

Use centralized config servers or environment variables.
Tools: Spring Cloud Config, Consul, AWS Parameter Store.
