When to go for @Configuration and @Component in a spring application?

We all know that both these annotations are used to create beans. But if @Component was already there to create bean then what was the need of @Configuration (which use @Bean) to create bean. Please help in understand this and in which scenario we need to use the annotation.

Suppose if you need to configure any third party class (like JdbcTemplate, Sendrgrid etc...) as spring bean then you should go with @Configuration annotation. and your business related classes as spring bean then you should go with @Component annotation.

Cheers!
