Service discovery is an architecture pattern used for components (micro-services) to locate each other. The DCAE platform uses [server-side discovery](http://microservices.io/patterns/server-side-discovery.html) and is using [Consul](https://www.consul.io/) as the service registry solution.
-## Service registration
+## Service Registration
All components are required to register with Consul in order to be discovered. There are two methods of registration: self and 3rd party. The DCAE platform uses 3rd party registration which means components don't actually make the registration calls but defers that responsibility to a platform service.

# 'Services' Overview
-DCAE Services run on the DCAE platform. A service performs either monitors the virtualized network services or does analytics. A service is composed of one or more components, and performs a business need.
+DCAE Services run on the DCAE platform. A service either monitors the virtualized network services or does analytics. A service is composed of one or more components, and performs a business need.
Services are created in a 'Service Design and Creation' tool called 'Service Assurance Flow Designer' by a Service Designer. This is done by
-* 1. 'compose'ing a service from the available SDC catalog components (actually from the TOSCA models representing the components), then
-* 2. 'submit'ing the service, which generates a Cloudify blueprint, is then automatically uploaded to INVENTORY, and then deployed by DEPLOYMENT HANDLER (once a DTI Event is triggered for the service). It should be noted that some service flows, specifally 'closed-loop' flows, are not initiated by DTI, but are done by CLAMP.

+Only a few services are supported in SDC so far, and therefore steps above are done manually by the Onboarding Team for most services.
