Apache ShardingSphere uses SPI to load data to the config center/registry/metadata center and disable instances and databases. 
Currently, Apache ShardingSphere supports frequently used registry centers, Zookeeper, Etcd, Apollo and Nacos. 
In addition, by injecting them to ShardingSphere with SPI, users can use other third-party config/registry/metadata centers to enable databases orchestration.
