Google Service Management manages a set of *services*. Service
|
|
Management allows *service producers* to
|
|
publish their services on Google Cloud Platform so that they can be discovered
|
|
and used by *service consumers*. It also handles the tasks of tracking
|
|
service lifecycle and programming various backend systems -- such as
|
|
[Stackdriver Logging](https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver),
|
|
[Stackdriver Monitoring](https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver) -- to support
|
|
the managed services.
|
|
|
|
If you are a service producer, you can use the Google Service Management API
|
|
and [Google Cloud SDK (gcloud)](/sdk) to publish and manage your services.
|
|
Each managed service has a service configuration which declares various aspects
|
|
of the service such as its API surface, along with parameters to configure the
|
|
supporting backend
|
|
systems, such as logging and monitoring. If you build your service using
|
|
[Google Cloud Endpoints](https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/), the service
|
|
configuration will be handled automatically.
|
|
|
|
If you are a service consumer and want to use a managed service, you can use the
|
|
Google Service Management API or [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com)
|
|
to activate the
|
|
service for your [Google developer project](https://developers.google.com/console/help/new/),
|
|
then start using its APIs and functions.
|
|
|
|
## Managed services
|
|
|
|
REST URL: `https://servicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/services/{service-name}` <br />
|
|
REST schema is defined [here](/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services).
|
|
|
|
A managed service refers to a network service managed by
|
|
Service Management. Each managed service has a unique name, such as
|
|
`example.googleapis.com`, which must be a valid fully-qualified DNS name, as per
|
|
RFC 1035.
|
|
|
|
A managed service typically provides some REST APIs and/or other
|
|
functions to their service consumers, such as mobile apps or cloud services.
|
|
|
|
Service producers can use methods, such as
|
|
[services.create](/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services/create),
|
|
[services.delete](/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services/delete),
|
|
[services.undelete](/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services/undelete),
|
|
to manipulate their managed services.
|
|
|
|
## Service producers
|
|
|
|
A service producer is the Google developer project responsible for publishing
|
|
and maintaining a managed service. Each managed service is owned by exactly one
|
|
service producer.
|
|
|
|
## Service consumers
|
|
|
|
A service consumer is a Google developer project that has enabled and can
|
|
invoke APIs on a managed service. A managed service can have many service
|
|
consumers.
|
|
|
|
## Service configuration
|
|
|
|
REST URL: `https://servicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/services/{service-name}/configs/{config_id}` <br />
|
|
REST schema is defined [here](/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services.configs).
|
|
|
|
Each managed service is described by a service configuration which covers a wide
|
|
range of features, including its name, title, RPC API definitions,
|
|
REST API definitions, documentation, authentication, and more.
|
|
|
|
To change the configuration of a managed service, the service producer needs to
|
|
publish an updated service configuration to Service Management.
|
|
Service Management keeps a history of published
|
|
service configurations, making it possible to easily retrace how a service's
|
|
configuration evolved over time. Service configurations can be published using
|
|
the
|
|
[services.configs.create](/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services.configs/create)
|
|
or [services.configs.submit](/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services.configs/submit)
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, `services.configs.submit` allows publishing an
|
|
[OpenAPI](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification) specification, formerly
|
|
known as the Swagger Specification, which is automatically converted to a
|
|
corresponding service configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Service rollout
|
|
|
|
REST URL: `https://servicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/services/{service-name}/rollouts/{rollout-id}` <br />
|
|
REST schema is defined [here](/service-management/reference/rest/v1/services.rollouts).
|
|
|
|
A `Rollout` defines how Google Service Management should deploy service
|
|
configurations to backend systems and how the configurations take effect at
|
|
runtime. It lets service producers specify multiple service configuration
|
|
versions to be deployed together, and a strategy that indicates how they
|
|
should be used.
|
|
|
|
Updating a managed service's configuration can be dangerous, as a configuration
|
|
error can lead to a service outage. To mitigate risks, Service Management
|
|
supports gradual rollout of service configuration changes. This feature gives
|
|
service producers time to identity potential issues and rollback service
|
|
configuration changes in case of errors, thus minimizing the customer
|
|
impact of bad configurations. For example, you could specify that 5% of traffic
|
|
uses configuration 1, while the remaining 95% uses configuration 2.
|
|
|
|
Service Management keeps a history of rollouts so that service
|
|
producers can undo to previous configuration versions. You can rollback a configuration
|
|
by initiating a new `Rollout` that clones a previously submitted
|
|
rollout record. |
