# Service Directory Service

Service Directory Service in Google Cloud is a fully managed service that helps you register, manage, and discover services across environments. It provides a centralized registry where services can be named and organized, making it easier for applications to locate and connect to them without hardcoding endpoints. This improves service discovery, reduces configuration complexity, and supports dynamic environments such as microservices or hybrid cloud deployments.

| ancestors            | core | array<string> |
| annotations          | core | hstore        | Optional. Annotations for the service. This data can be consumed by service clients. Restrictions: * The entire annotations dictionary may contain up to 2000 characters, spread accoss all key-value pairs. Annotations that go beyond this limit are rejected * Valid annotation keys have two segments: an optional prefix and name, separated by a slash (/). The name segment is required and must be 63 characters or less, beginning and ending with an alphanumeric character ([a-z0-9A-Z]) with dashes (-), underscores (_), dots (.), and alphanumerics between. The prefix is optional. If specified, the prefix must be a DNS subdomain: a series of DNS labels separated by dots (.), not longer than 253 characters in total, followed by a slash (/). Annotations that fails to meet these requirements are rejected Note: This field is equivalent to the `metadata` field in the v1beta1 API. They have the same syntax and read/write to the same location in Service Directory. |
