+description: Understand how the Akri services enable you to dynamically configure and deploy Akri connectors to connect a broad variety of assets and devices that support different protocols to the Azure IoT Operations cluster, and ingest telemetry from them, as well as send command and control to them. It also supports the dynamic discovery and detection of devices and assets at the edge. It sets up the right access control permissions to ensure secure access to resources on-cluster and off-cluster.

 # What are Akri services (preview)?
 
-Azure IoT Operations discovers devices and assets by using the included Akri services (preview). The Akri services enable protocol connections and configurations by using Azure Device Registry. The Akri services simplify the process of projecting leaf devices such as OPC UA servers, cameras, IoT sensors, and other assets into the Azure Device Registry. The Akri services use the devices' own protocols to project leaf devices as Azure Resource Manager resources in the Azure Device Registry. For administrators who attach or remove devices from a cluster, this capability reduces the amount of coordination and manual configuration required.
+Azure IoT Operations discovers devices and assets by using the included Akri services (preview). The Akri services enable protocol connections and configurations by managing the deployment and lifecycle of Akri connectors. Akri connectors bridge southbound connectivity by connecting to devices and assets over different protocols (i.e. OPC UA, ONVIF, REST/HTTP, etc.) while Azure Device Registry resources allows the projection of these leaf devices and assets to the cloud as Azure Resource Manager resources. For administrators who attach or remove devices from a cluster, this capability reduces the amount of coordination and manual configuration required.
 
-The Akri services are an extensible framework for all device protocols. You can use them with out-of-the-box and partner-built connectors, or you can add custom protocol capabilities by creating connectors. Adding custom logic is made easy with the [Azure IoT Operations SDK](https://github.com/azure/iot-operations-sdks) (preview). Akri services handles the dynamic deployment and lifecycle management of these connectors and the SDK provides clients which make it easy for your connector to interface with other Azure IoT Operations components, so that you can solely focus on the business logic of your connector.

 The Akri services are a Microsoft-managed commercial version of [Akri](https://docs.akri.sh/), an open-source Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project.

 ### Connector deployment and lifecycle management
 
-Akri services include the Akri operator which allows connector workloads to be deployed dynamically when certain types of devices or assets are discovered/configured, provides automatic access to Azure IoT Operations resources and endpoints (like Devices and Assets), deploys connector workloads to the right nodes based on discovery information like node affinity, and more.

 ### Compatibility with Kubernetes
 
-The Akri services use standard Kubernetes primitives that let you apply your existing expertise and knowledge. Small devices connected to an Akri-configured cluster can appear as Kubernetes resources, just like memory or CPUs. The Akri services controller enables the cluster operator to start brokers, jobs, or other workloads for individual connected devices or groups of devices. These device configurations and properties remain in the cluster so that if there's node failure, other nodes can pick up any lost work. Security and authentication is also standardized on Kubernetes secrets and TLS practices, making it easy to secure your device connections, no matter the protocol.
