Section titled “deployment”The orchestrated unit: a named declaration of an image, its replica count and everything that shapes how those containers run.
Not: workloads, workload.
See Deployments and containers.
A machine enrolled in the platform that can run containers.
Not: hosts, host.
See Architecture.
tenant
Section titled “tenant”The isolation boundary. Every deployment, node, secret and network belongs to exactly one.

tenancy
Section titled “tenancy”The arrangement, not the party: a tenant is the boundary, tenancy is the model it belongs to.
container
Section titled “container”One running copy of a deployment’s image.
Not: instances, instance.
See Deployments and containers.
The software running on a node that receives dispatches from the control plane and drives the container runtime. A node is the machine; the agent is the program on it.
