Networking: ports and aliases

Publish the ports you need, give services stable names, and keep ensemble DNS inside the stack so containers find each other without hard-coded addresses.

Networking features

• Published ports — expose selected services to the host or the edge.
• Ensemble aliases — resolve peers by service name inside the stack.
• Host aliases when needed — map product names in /etc/hosts for demos and local tooling.

Keep planes clear

Public HTTPS on product FQDNs is separate from mesh traffic between nodes. Publish only what the edge should see; leave the rest on the private fabric.
