Description

The list of valid component types is rather limited and this makes tools such as Dependency Track less useful when trying to work with container orchestration environments - essentially everything has to be either Application or Container.

I would like to propose:

- Cluster
A collection of components that function together as a unit.

For my purposes this would be either a Kubernetes or Swarm cluster, but it would serve equally in other situations.
"Environment" would work as well as "Cluster", but I think "Cluster" is more generically useful.

- Service
An abstract grouping of software components that provides some kind of end point for use by other components.
