SOLID principles for distributed systems: how do they translate?

I'm trying to understand how SOLID principles translate into the world of distributed systems and microservices. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) seems to map well to defining clear service boundaries. Open/Closed Principle (OCP) can be applied to designing backward-compatible APIs and interfaces. But what about Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) and Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) in this context? How do you think about 'substitutability' for services or 'inverting dependencies' when you're primarily communicating over networks with RPCs or messages? Are they still relevant at the service level, or do they become more about contracts and protocols? Any examples of how these are applied in practice?
