Customer Verbatim Feedback:
"I've been developing code for 40+ years and can't follow this article. Where does "Configuration" come from in this line of code: "services. Configure(Configuration);"? It's a class you created somewhere, but where????"

In this code, Configuration is a property of the Startup class that holds the application's configuration settings. It is of type IConfiguration, which is an interface provided by the .NET Core framework for accessing configuration data.

The Configuration property is initialized in the constructor of the Startup class. The constructor takes an IConfiguration object as a parameter, which is passed in by the ASP.NET Core runtime when the application starts. This IConfiguration object is typically built from various configuration sources, such as appsettings.json, environment variables, and command-line arguments.
