# Terms and Definitions
|
|
|
|
### Controller
|
|
The controller node(s) are the resources responsible for management, control, and administration of the cluster.
|
|
Historically these systems have been called "master", "head", or "administrative" nodes, but we feel the term
|
|
"controller" is more appropriate and descriptive of the role of this system.
|
|
|
|
### Workers
|
|
Worker nodes are the systems that are being provisioned by Warewulf. The roles of these systems could be "compute",
|
|
"storage", "GPU", "IO", etc. which would typically be used as a prefix, for example: "**compute worker node**"
|
|
|
|
### Container
|
|
Containers are used by Warewulf as the template for the VNFS image. Warewulf containers can be any type of OCI or
|
|
Singularity standard image formats but maintained on disk as an "OCI bundle". Warewulf integrates with Docker,
|
|
Docker Hub, any OCI registery, Singularity, standard chroots, etc.
