To get started with Maven with a BOM (dependency management only):

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>2021.0.6</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    ...
</dependencies>

or with Gradle:

plugins {
  id 'java'
  id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.7.9'
  id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.15.RELEASE'
}

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '8'

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

ext {
  set('springCloudVersion', "2021.0.6")
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-config'
  implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client'
  //...
}

dependencyManagement {
  imports {
    mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
  }
}
