Description

Currently, the spring config clients require a config server URL to bootstrap config from.
The config server can be made HA either by a loadbalancer or a discovery service.
Instead, if we load the config by making an RPC to an AMQP Exchange for configuration, then the config server becomes discoverable and elastic.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Spring config clients currently bootstrap from a config server URL, then examine the config server discovery and bootstrap flow. Evaluate the proposed RPC to an AMQP exchange, including how clients obtain configuration without a configured server URL. Done would mean a defined, tested bootstrap path that makes the config server discoverable and elastic.
