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.

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**"
