Vocabulary
| Term |
Plain English |
| Pack |
A versioned component you drop into a layer |
| Layer |
One slot in the stack — OS, Kubernetes, network, storage, add-ons |
| Cluster profile |
The recipe. Reusable, versioned, says nothing about specific machines |
| Profile variable |
A value declared once, referenced in packs, editable at deploy time |
| Edge host |
A machine registered with Palette and available to be claimed |
| Agent Mode |

| CNI |
Container Network Interface — the plugin that gives containers addresses. Cilium is one |
| CIDR |
A notation for a range of IP addresses, e.g. 100.64.0.0/18 |
| Control plane |
The nodes that run Kubernetes itself, as opposed to your applications |
| Node pool |
A group of machines sharing a role and configuration |
| Repave |
Replacing a node rather than changing it in place |
Rules worth remembering
- 1 node or 3+, never 2 in Agent Mode
- Agent Mode preset on the OS layer, every time
- The pod CIDR appears in two packs and they must agree — that is why it is a variable
100.64.x.x is our house standard because it rarely collides with a customer network
