Universal, fully managed configuration store
Fast retrieval of configurations for any Azure application
Complete data encryption, at rest or in transit
Native integration with popular frameworks such as .NET and Java Spring
Respond in real time to changing demands
Toggle specific features behind feature flags, and fix critical problems in real time. The flexibility provided by avoiding costly redeployments gives you more control when it matters the most.
Reduce configuration complexity across multiple environments
Modern programs, especially those running in a cloud, have several distributed components. Spreading configuration settings across these components leads to hard-to-troubleshoot errors during application deployments. Using a universal configuration store for all your settings helps eliminate these errors.
Improve security by separating configuration from code
Help secure your apps by keeping data separate from code. Storing configuration settings in a hosted environment helps keep data secure as long as you need.
