This also removes reference to the deprecated DevStack gate. A few links have been removed, namely anything relating to /elements/ as it doesn't appear to exist anymore and I cannot find any reference to it. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated.

Magnum Terminology
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|

.. glossary::
|
|
|
|
Cluster (previously Bay)
|
|
A cluster is the construct in which Magnum launches container orchestration
|
|
engines. After a cluster has been created the user is able to add containers
|
|
to it either directly, or in the case of the Kubernetes container
|
|
orchestration engine within pods - a logical construct specific to that
|
|
implementation. A cluster is created based on a ClusterTemplate.
|
|
|
|
ClusterTemplate (previously BayModel)
|
|
A ClusterTemplate in Magnum is roughly equivalent to a flavor in Nova. It
|
|
acts as a template that defines options such as the container orchestration
|
|
engine, keypair and image for use when Magnum is creating clusters using
|
|
the given ClusterTemplate.
|
|
|
|
Container Orchestration Engine (COE)
|
|
A container orchestration engine manages the lifecycle of one or more
|
|
containers, logically represented in Magnum as a cluster. Magnum supports a
|
|
number of container orchestration engines, each with their own pros and cons,
|
|
including Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, and Mesos.
|
|
|
|
Labels
|
|
Labels is a general method to specify supplemental parameters that are
|
|
specific to certain COE or associated with certain options. Their
|
|
format is key/value pair and their meaning is interpreted by the
|
|
drivers that uses them.
|
|
|
|
Cluster Drivers
|
|
A cluster driver is a collection of python code, heat templates, scripts,
|
|
images, and documents for a particular COE on a particular distro. Magnum
|
|
presents the concept of ClusterTemplates and clusters. The implementation
|
|
for a particular cluster type is provided by the cluster driver. In other
|
|
words, the cluster driver provisions and manages the infrastructure for the
|
|
COE.

Kubernetes Terminology
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. glossary::
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes uses a range of terminology that we refer to in this guide. We
|
|
define these common terms for your reference:
|
|
|
|
Pod
|
|
When using the Kubernetes container orchestration engine, a pod is the
|
|
smallest deployable unit that can be created and managed. A pod is a
|
|
co-located group of application containers that run with a shared context.
|
|
When using Magnum, pods are created and managed within clusters. Refer to the
|
|
`pods section <https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-overview/>`_ in
|
|
`Kubernetes Tasks`_ for more information.
|
|
|
|
Replication controller
|
|
A replication controller is used to ensure that at any given time a certain
|
|
number of replicas of a pod are running. Pods are automatically created and
|
|
deleted by the replication controller as necessary based on a template to
|
|
ensure that the defined number of replicas exist. Refer to the `replication
|
|
controller section
|
|
<https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/rolling-update-replication-controller/>`_ in
|
|
the `Kubernetes Tasks`_ for more information.
|
|
|
|
Service
|
|
A service is an additional layer of abstraction provided by the Kubernetes
|
|
container orchestration engine which defines a logical set of pods and a
|
|
policy for accessing them. This is useful because pods are created and
|
|
deleted by a replication controller, for example, other pods needing to
|
|
discover them can do so via the service abstraction. Refer to the
|
|
`services section
|
|
<https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/>`_ in
|
|
`Kubernetes Concepts`_ for more information.
