Network
A kind: Service publishes a TCP port through the router. A microservice is a container. A Kubernetes Service is a cluster object. On a Kubernetes control plane, the Controller may create a Kubernetes Service that forwards to the router. That path is on Services.
Two containers on the same Edgelet node reach each other by name on the bridge. That is DNS and Bridge DNS.
Deploy a Service with potctl deploy -f. There is no apply.
