=== Structure `@Configuration` classes for inclusion in slice tests
Slice tests work by restricting Spring Framework's component scanning to a limited set of components based on their type.
For any beans that are not created via component scanning, for example, beans that are created using the `@Bean` annotation, slice tests will not be able to include/exclude them from the application context.

You should now have a good understanding of Spring Boot's <<features#features, core features>> and the various technologies that Spring Boot provides support for via auto-configuration.

The next few sections go into detail about deploying applications to cloud platforms.
You can read about <<container-images#container-images, building container images>> in the next section or skip to the <<actuator#actuator, production-ready features>> section.
Spring Boot applications usually use Cloud Native Buildpacks via the Maven (`mvn spring-boot:build-image`), or Gradle (`gradle bootBuildImage`) integrations.
Spring Boot applications usually use Cloud Native Buildpacks through the Maven (`mvn spring-boot:build-image`) or Gradle (`gradle bootBuildImage`) integrations.
You can, however, also use https://buildpacks.io//docs/tools/pack/[`pack`] to turn an AOT processed Spring Boot executable jar into a native container image.
Spring Boot Actuator's `info` endpoint automatically publishes information about your build in the presence of a `META-INF/build-info.properties` file.
A {build-info-javadoc}[`BuildInfo`] task is provided to generate this file.
The easiest way to use the task is via the plugin's DSL:

If the value is empty or not defined (that is `<my-property/`>), the system property is set with an empty String as the value.
Maven trims values specified in the pom so it is not possible to specify a System property which needs to start or end with a space via this mechanism: consider using `jvmArguments` instead.

Any String typed Maven variable can be passed as system properties.
Any attempt to pass any other Maven variable type (for example a `List` or a `URL` variable) will cause the variable expression to be passed literally (unevaluated).
