Identity
Overview
AService is the platform-owned identity record for a managed capability a provider offers on Datum Cloud. It holds everything consumer-facing: the canonical name, display name, description, owning producer project, and lifecycle phase. Runtime concerns such as deployments, images, endpoints, and routing stay in the provider’s own repository; this resource is identity only.
The canonical identifier is spec.serviceName, a reverse-DNS name (for example, compute.miloapis.com) that appears on invoices, in the portal, and in every downstream reference. Once a service is Published, serviceName is locked: breaking changes ship as a new Service with a new serviceName and a coordinated migration rather than a silent mutation. Use a Service to register a capability so downstream governance resources (such as MeterDefinition and MonitoredResourceType) and consumers (quota, marketplace, entitlements) can reference it.
