Engagement details

Each microservice has its vital configuration files. So, configuration management of a multi-microservice system can be tiresome. The secret configuration is generally maintained in the form of YAML files. However, storing credentials in the YAML file is insecure. Maintaining the configuration files across the environment (development, staging, pre-production, production, etc.) is complicated, with a risk of mistakes while manually copying the files.
