Betatalks #64 - App Configuration References

In this Betatalks episode Rick and Gerben talk about App Configuration in general, and using App Configuration references in particular. App Configuration is a centralized configuration store in Azure which provides one central location with all your settings, so you don’t have to manage the same setting at multiple locations.

With the introduction of App Configuration references, you can now use App Configuration on any App Service or Function App running in Azure without even changing one line of code.

Please be advised: when this video was recorded and released, App Configuration references were still in preview.
