SpringBoot Remove spring.cloud.enabled property

CloudAutoConfiguration (worth renaming?) has a spring.cloud.enabled property that has no metadata. I don't think it was ever advertized so I'd like us to get rid of it (since spring.cloud is a different territory anyway).

SpringCloudServiceConnectorsAutoConfiguration ?

I think we can just drop the property and use standard auto-configure exclusions to disable it.

Thanks, let's do this as this unknown property will keep popping up in report until we remove/document it.

I am getting following error on upgrading my spring boot version from 2.0.4-RELEASE to 2.6.6 Unable to read meta-data for class org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.cloud.CloudAutoConfiguration. I cannot find org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.cloud in version 2.6.6. Can I safely exclude CloudAutoConfiguration.class from scan using @SpringBootApplication(exclude={CloudAutoConfiguration.class})? @snicoll @philwebb

It's been renamed to CloudServiceConnectorsAutoConfiguration and later completely removed in #19798. You can just delete this exclusion from your application.
