title: Workload Instance
|
|
---
|
|
A single instantiation of a [workload's](#workload) binary.
|
|
A workload instance can expose zero or more [service endpoints](#service-endpoint),
|
|
and can consume zero or more [services](#service).
|
|
|
|
Workload instances have a number of properties:
|
|
|
|
- Name and namespace
|
|
- Unique ID
|
|
- IP Address
|
|
- Labels
|
|
- Principal
|
|
|
|
These properties are available in policy and telemetry configuration
|
|
using the many [`source.*` and `destination.*` attributes](/docs/reference/config/policy-and-telemetry/attribute-vocabulary/).
