title: Spring boot app on Cloud with external properties file
body: <p>I have a spring boot application which needs to use a property file. This application will be on the cloud. So, the property file will also be on the coud.</p>
  
  <p>I am using cloud foundry to communicate with the cloud and use 'cf push' to push my spring-boot application.</p>
  
  <p>My question : 
   1. Where and how to store a properties file? Can it be stored on the cloud? How? Or does it need to be stored on git and reference it in your application? 
   2. How to use this properties file which is at the external location ? </p>
