Nacos Engine Configuration Overview

In Nacos engines, configuration management is one of the core functions. It is used to solve problems such as centralized configuration management, dynamic update, and environment isolation in the microservice architecture. It uses a unified configuration center to adjust application behavior in real time without modifying code or restarting services, improving system flexibility and maintainability.

Nacos configuration management functions:

• Centralized configuration management
  • Application configurations are stored on the Nacos server, which prevents configurations from being scattered in code or local files and facilitates centralized maintenance and management.
  • Configurations can be managed by application, environment (development, test, and production), and cluster, improving configuration isolation.
• Dynamic configuration update

  Configurations can be pushed to applications in real time after being modified, without restarting services. (This feature requires the support of the application SDK.)

• Configuration version management

  Configuration changes are automatically recorded, and configurations can be rolled back to a previous version, preventing configuration faults caused by misoperations.

• Configuration listening and pushing

  Applications listen to Nacos configuration changes through SDKs, and Nacos proactively pushes updates to ensure that configurations take effect in real time.

• Multi-environment support

  Configurations can be isolated in different environments (development, test, and production). The same application can load different configurations in different environments.
