# Service Directory Endpoint

A Service Directory Endpoint in Google Cloud represents a network endpoint that provides a specific service instance within a namespace. It contains details such as IP address, port, and metadata, allowing clients to discover and connect to services dynamically. This helps manage service discovery across environments and simplifies communication between distributed applications.

| ancestors            | core | array<string> |
| annotations          | core | hstore        | Optional. Annotations for the endpoint. This data can be consumed by service clients. Restrictions: * The entire annotations dictionary may contain up to 512 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. |
