Is the uppercase "S" of "Service" here a strict convention? From what I can see, we typically use "service" (lowercase "s") when referring to other services, such as "Compute service" or "Block Storage service". Is there any good reason for us to make an exception with "Image Service"? Or should we actually be using uppercase "S" with "Service" beside service names -- meaning we'll have to change all instances of, say, "Compute service" to "Compute Service"?

"Service" here is really is part of the name, so it's "Image Service",
