Improve reliability. If a service fails, the entire service will fail. After the separation, the single service will fail and other services can run.

Increase transparency, reduce service costs, and increase security. Note that some of the critical services (recovery that need to be restarted) are still grouped.

It is important to note that critical system services (services that require recovery when the system is restarted), as well as a couple of selected service hosts, will continue to be grouped.
