            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>2021.0.8</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
