Well, sure :) But it sounds equally weird to say "install an installation". The point here is the noun, which I believe "deployment" most accurately describes what the thing is. The other terms have connotation issues: * "cluster" -- is too generic, but also has connotations in HPC and various other technologies (databases, MQs, etc). * "installation" -- reminds me of a piece of performance art ;) * "instance" -- too much cross-terminology with server instance in Nova and Ironic > I have another question.
