Node#

A Node in kuid represents a fundamental unit that implements compute, storage, and/or networking within your environment. Nodes can embody physical, virtual, or containerized entities, offering versatility in deployment options to suit diverse infrastructure requirements.

Nodes are logically organized within racks and sites/regions, establishing a hierarchical structure for efficient resource management and organization. Additionally, Nodes are associated with NodeGroups, facilitating centralized management and control within defined administrative boundaries.

Each Node is assigned a provider, representing the entity responsible for implementing the specifics of the Node.

We've opted for the name node instead of device as it better encompasses the scope we aim to cover. While 'device' often implies a physical entity, we intend to model both physical and virtual, including containerized entities within our system
