Ambassador is built around the idea of mapping resources (in the REST sense) to services (in the Kubernetes sense). A resource is identified by a URL prefix -- for example, you might declare that any URL beginning with /user/ identifies a "user" resource. A service is code running in Kubernetes that can handle the resource you want to map.
