Manage the YARN service life cycle through the REST API

Create a service

Use the following endpoint to create a service:

You can update the runtime properties of a service. You can update the lifetime, and start or stop a service. You can also upgrade the service containers to a newer version of their artifacts.

Use the following endpoint to update the service:
