Hi Viswa, I agree with you about Demo Server being largely oriented towards a quick use but it has a lot of useful data. I have gone through demo server too and I see they introduce RSA keys through external properties so I was thinking changing all the microservices will be a little more stressful, we could pass external properties to it when running the different jar files. True talk about Eureka, I am trying to work on that too. But I was thinking we don't need that much scripts and we don't have to change too much. I wrote a proposal about this for a GSOC project, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zp6CeYP6ox51tGSu1fE9cBAWpaQnqjeBBVIa-n0evso/edit?usp=sharing , could you check it out? I will be delighted to get you point of view and comments about this doc :)
