 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Platform Service is a service that supplies a shared technical capability to applications, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:w:workload|Workloads]], operators, or other platform components.
 +
 +A Platform Service may supply:
 +
 +  * Identity
 +  * Authentication
 +  * Authorization
 +  * Name resolution
 +  * Service discovery
 +  * Secret management
 +  * Key management
 +  * Configuration distribution
 +  * Logging
 +  * Monitoring
 +  * Messaging
 +  * Data storage
 +  * Repository access
 +  * Policy enforcement
 +  * Network management
 +
 +A Platform Service may operate:
 +
 +  * As a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:containerized_workload|Containerized Workload]]
 +  * On a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:virtual_machine|Virtual Machine]]
 +  * Through a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provider_implementation|Provider Implementation]]
 +  * As part of a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:k:kubernetes_cluster|Kubernetes Cluster]]
 +  * Within another platform realization
 +
 +A Platform Service differs from an application service:
 +
 +  * A Platform Service supplies a shared technical capability used by other subjects
 +  * An application service performs a domain or business function
 +
 +The distinction depends on the architectural role assigned to the service.
 +
 +A Platform Service differs from an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_resource|Infrastructure Resource]]:
 +
 +  * An Infrastructure Resource supplies an infrastructure capability
 +  * A Platform Service exposes a shared service capability through an operational interface
 +
 +A Platform Service may depend on one or more Infrastructure Resources.

 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Platform Service does not by itself establish that the service is:
 +
 +  * Available
 +  * Securely configured
 +  * Compliant
 +  * Authorized for use
 +  * Suitable for production operation
 +  * Accessible from every environment
 +
 +Separate requirements govern those characteristics.
 +
 +The term does not prescribe a deployment model, implementation technology, provider, interface protocol, or hosting platform.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +An identity service deployed within an Infrastructure Environment supplies authentication and authorization capabilities to multiple Containerized Workloads and platform components.
