Endpoints track the IP addresses of Pods with matching {{< glossary_tooltip text="selectors" term_id="selector" >}}.

Endpoints can be configured manually for {{< glossary_tooltip text="Services" term_id="service" >}} without selectors specified. The {{< glossary_tooltip text="EndpointSlice" term_id="endpoint-slice" >}} resource provides a scalable and extensible alternative to Endpoints.
