What's the difference between Microsoft Cluster Services (MSCS) and Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager (MSFCM) ?

The service determines whether a failover should be initiated.

The manager enables configuration of the cluster services.

There are many resources online, I always start from the Microsoft documentation as it is so much better than it used to be, then look elsewhere if needed.

So they're part of the same concept?

You won't have a cluster without the cluster services running.

This is a level up from the link above:
