WARNING: `spring.config.name` and `spring.config.location` are used very early to determine which files have to be loaded.
They must be defined as an environment property (typically an OS environment variable, a system property, or a command-line argument).
If `spring.config.location` contains directories (as opposed to files), they should end in `/` (at runtime they will be appended with the names generated from `spring.config.name` before being loaded).
Files specified in `spring.config.location` are used as-is.
Whether specified directly or contained in a directory, configuration files must include a file extension in their name.
If `spring.config.location` contains directories (as opposed to files), they must end in `/` or the system-dependent `File.separator`.
At runtime they will be appended with the names generated from `spring.config.name` before being loaded.
If `spring.config.location` contains files, they are used as-is.
Whether specified directly or contained in a directory, files references must include a file extension in their name.
Typical extensions that are supported out-of-the-box are `.properties`, `.yaml`, and `.yml`.
When multiple locations are specified, the later ones can override the values of earlier ones.
