How to use multiple Azure App Configurations in one client application

Lets say we have 2 azure application configurations (TeamConfig and CommonConfig) and one client application (ClientApp).

Case 1: Can ClientApp use both TeamConfig and CommonConfig at the same time?

Case 2: Can TeamConfig link directly to CommonConfig?

Side note: I have seen the possibility that TeamConfig can import from CommonConfig. But, what I am looking for is a dynamic link and not a import. When CommonConfig is updated it is automatically updated all the way down to the ClientApp.

Solution

  • For case 1, yes.

    For case 2, no.

    In your application, you can load configuration from multiple App Configuration stores. For example,

    configBuilder.AddAzureAppConfiguration("Connection string of CommonConfig");
configBuilder.AddAzureAppConfiguration("Connection string of TeamConfig");

    In this sample, what's in TeamConfig will overwrite what's in CommonConfig if there are overlapping keys.
