Consumers, applications, services, and service binaries

Learn about the relationship among consumers, applications, services, and service binaries.

For every consumer, there is one enabled application. One or more service packages can be deployed for an application. A service package contains the binary program that performs computations. A service package can contain more than one service binary, for example, Linux® and Windows versions of a service.
