Services

Services are self-contained units of functionality within a system that perform specific tasks or provide specific capabilities, often accessible through defined interfaces or APIs.

Kubernetes Service​

A Kubernetes Microservice is an independently deployable component of an application running in a Kubernetes environment. These microservices communicate with each other using lightweight protocols and are designed to perform specific, granular functions, promoting modularity and scalability.

Network Endpoint​

A network endpoint refers to a specific point of interaction where services, applications, or devices connect to a network to send or receive data. It can be a URL, IP address, or a combination of both that allows communication between clients and servers, such as microservices, APIs, or databases.

Service​

A Service refers to a service or application hosted outside the primary orchestration platform, such as a third-party API or legacy system. These services are accessed via network interfaces, often using HTTP or gRPC.
