What is the difference between Consumed by and Used by in CMDB Relationship view?

Below we have the application service where you can see it is being Consumed By the business service SuccessFactors and being Used by other applications and Service offerings. I wanted to understand the difference between the two.

Hi @Passion_of_SNOW 

• Consumed by = "This CI provides something that another CI uses."
  → The other CI is consuming a service, resource, or function from this CI.
  → Think: “I’m the provider, they’re the consumer.”

• Used by = "This CI depends on another CI to work."
  → This CI is using a resource or service from another CI.
  → Think: “I’m the consumer, they’re the provider.”
