+= Service exposition with ListenerClasses
+
+Apache Druid offers a web UI and an API, both are exposed by the `router` role. Other roles also expose API endpoints such as the `broker` and `coordinator`. The Operator deploys services called `<name>-<role>` (where `<name>` is the name of the DruidCluster and `<role>` is the role for the Service) through which Druid can be reached.
+
+These services can have three different types: `cluster-internal`, `external-unstable` and `external-stable`. Read more about the types in the xref:concepts:service-exposition.adoc[service exposition] documentation at platform level.
+
+This is how the listener class is configured:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+spec:
+  clusterConfig:
+    listenerClass: cluster-internal  # <1>
+----
+<1> The default `cluster-internal` setting. 
+
+This setting affects all role Services at once.
