SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage configuration across environments by centralizing environment variables, secret management, and feature flags to ensure secure, predictable application behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment-based configuration loading with appsettings.json, environment variables, and User Secrets
  • Secrets management via Azure Key Vault, environment variables, and development secrets
  • Feature flag support and environment-specific behavior for controlled rollouts

Quick Start

Install and wire the configuration setup as shown: configure your app to load from appsettings.json, environment variables, and Key Vault URL; set Features flags to control runtime behavior; run in development or production as needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage .NET configuration across development, staging, and production environments?

Manage .NET configuration across environments by centralizing environment variables, secrets, and feature flags. This setup loads settings from appsettings.json, environment variables, and Azure Key Vault to ensure secure, predictable application behavior throughout deployment stages.

What is the best way to secure application secrets using Azure Key Vault in a .NET application?

Secure application secrets using Azure Key Vault by integrating it within your .NET configuration system. This centralizes secret management alongside environment variables and user secrets in development, ensuring sensitive data is loaded safely without exposing hardcoded values.

How do I load appsettings.json and environment variables using IConfiguration in .NET?

Load appsettings.json and environment variables using IConfiguration by wiring your .NET application to pull from multiple sources. This setup applies environment-specific behavior, merging standard settings files with environment variables and Key Vault URLs dynamically at runtime.

Can I use feature flags to control runtime behavior in different .NET environments?

Use feature flags to control runtime behavior in .NET environments by configuring toggles within your centralized configuration system. This supports environment-specific behavior and controlled rollouts across development, staging, and production without redeploying application code.

Why do I need user secrets in development and Azure Key Vault in production for .NET applications?

User secrets in development and Azure Key Vault in production are needed to securely manage environment-specific configuration. This separation prevents sensitive data from being committed to source control while maintaining centralized configuration loading through standard .NET interfaces.
