While it's possible to run all Vanadium infrastructure services on your own we host several of them to ease development overhead. The following services are available to use and are often the default values for most configurations. All services listed here are covered by the the terms of service.
The Mount table is a service that allows other Vanadium applications to discover and address one another. To be discovered an application will mount itself at a “name” and other applications (clients) can then address the service.

The Identity Service is an HTTP server that uses OAuth to create blessings. It allows users to “login” to a service and affords them the ability to generate and manage access credentials. Google runs such a service at https://dev.v.io/auth.
