Services are grouped into categories depending on what actions they perform.
Services are grouped into these categories:
- Product services enable HCP for cloud scale functions. For example, the S3 Gateway service serves S3 API methods and communicates with storage components. You can scale, move, and reconfigure product services.
- System services maintain the health and availability of the HCP for cloud scale system. For example, the Watchdog service ensures that other services remain running. You cannot scale, move, or reconfigure system services.
