In Ganeti, a physical machine is called a *node* and a virtual machine
is an *instance*. A node is elected to be the *master* where all
commands should be ran from. Nodes are interconnected through a

*primary* and a *secondary*: the *primary* is where the virtual
machine actually runs and th *secondary* acts as a hot failover.
