Question about service discovery

[warrenincn]

From a practical point of view, the service discovery takes place in two places:

1. apisix discovery module;
2. apisix-seed;

Is it expected by design?
Why not completely take over service discovery on the CP side

We explain it in the docs, see here https://github.com/api7/apisix-seed/blob/main/README.md

Let's talk about nacos as a service register.

apache/apisix will do the service discovery, see https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/bf603ac517e890f2b67c726cc40a66edc58fd8f2/apisix/discovery/nacos/init.lua#L387

And now apisix-seed will do almost the same thing.

How can I disable apisix's service discovery and only use apisix-seed's service discovery？

Just follow this document. https://github.com/api7/apisix-seed/blob/main/docs/en/latest/nacos.md
In your apisix configuration, you don’t need to configure any nacos server-related information
