+
+The Dapr placement service is used to calculate and distribute distributed hash tables for the location of [Dapr actors]({{< ref actors >}} running in [self-hosted mode]({{< ref self-hosted >}}) or on [Kubernetes]({{< ref kubernetes >}}). This hash table maps actor IDs to pods or processes so a Dapr application can communicate with the actor.Anytime a Dapr application activates a Dapr actor, the placement updates the hash tables with the latest actor locations.
+
+## Self-hosted mode
+
+The placement service Docker container is started automatically as part of [`dapr init`]({{< ref self-hosted-with-docker.md >}}). It can also be run manually as a process if you are running in [slim-init mode]({{< ref self-hosted-no-docker.md >}}).
+
+## Kubernetes mode
+
+The placement service is deployed as part of `dapr init -k`, or via the Dapr Helm charts. For more information on running Dapr on Kubernetes, visit the [Kubernetes hosting page]({{< ref kubernetes >}}).

+The Dapr sentry service manages mTLS between services and acts as a certificate authority. It generates mTLS certificates and distributes them to any running sidecars. This allows sidecars to communicate with encrypted, mTLS traffic. For more information read the [sidecar-to-sidecar communication overview]({{< ref "security-concept.md#sidecar-to-sidecar-communication" >}}).

+
+When running Dapr in [Kubernetes mode]({{< ref kubernetes >}}), a pod is created running the dapr-sidecar-injector service, which looks for pods initialized with the [Dapr annotations]({{< ref arguments-annotations-overview.md >}}), and then creates another container in that pod for the [daprd service]({{< ref sidecar >}})
+
+## Running the sidecar injector
+
+The sidecar injector service is deployed as part of `dapr init -k`, or via the Dapr Helm charts. For more information on running Dapr on Kubernetes, visit the [Kubernetes hosting page]({{< ref kubernetes >}}).
