Overview

OpenShift Hosts
Master
A master is a RHEL or Red Hat Atomic host that orchestrates and schedules resources. It maintains the state of the OpenShift environment. Multiple masters can be present to insure HA.
Node
A node is a RHEL or Red Hat Atomic Host where applications run inside containers. Nodes are orchestrated by masters. The node daemon runs on node.
Container
All application instances run inside containers on the nodes. For more details, see Docker Containers.
