title: Where does the flink-conf.yaml go?
body: <p>The documentation on the flink website as well as AWS's Flink deployment says that my configuration goes in the flink-conf.yaml file but where should I store this file in my project and how do I get flink to pick it up?</p>
  <p>In particular I want to enable checkpointing, how do I do that when my project tree is as follows:</p>
  <pre><code>.
  ├── pom.xml
  └── src
      ├── main
      │   ├── java
      │   │   └── xyz
      │   │       └── foobar
      │   │           └── foo
      │   │               └── Main.java
      │   └── resources
      └── test
          ├── java
          │   └── xyz
          │       └── foobar
          │           └── foo
          │               └── TestFoo.java
          └── resources
              └── placeholder
  
  </code></pre>
