Does spring support loading bootstrap.yml file from spring cloud config/http url?

Question

Does spring support loading bootstrap.yml file from spring cloud config/http url? Or does it require the bootstrap file to be present in the classpath?

Answer 1

bootstrap.yml cannot be loaded from the Spring Cloud Config Server. bootstrap.yml gets used to populate the bootstrap context, which in turn is used to populate the application context with the configuration properties coming from Spring Cloud Config Server. bootstrap.yml must be available to the Spring Boot application locally (classpath, local file...).
