About service packages

The following illustrates the relationship among consumers, applications, services, and service binaries.

For every consumer, there is one enabled application. One or more service packages can be deployed for an application. A service package contains a program (and its dependencies) that performs computations. A service package can contain more than one service program, for example, when you have a Linux and Windows version of a service.
