++ to you Mark. Excellent suggestion on compute-cell.

I think this is a slightly outdated concept of zones.
The key to scalability in nova is to divide the set of all compute nodes into
subsets, each with its own messaging and database infrastructure. The
granularity of everything else (scheduling, api, volume, network,
what-have-you) is just an implementation or deployment detail that should be
flexible depending on our ultimate implementation and any alternative
strategies we expose to deployers.
With this in mind it's still true that the smallest deployment would be likely
include just one compute zone (or compute cell, as we are trending). But that
is a far cry from the whole system even in a small deployment.
For this reason, whatever name we choose I would hope we prefix it with
"compute-" (i.e. compute-zone or compute-cell) so that we aren't letting
language trick us out of some of our better implementation options, such as allowing
deployers to scale compute, volume, network, and api resources separately.

Agreed.
How about? Layers, Slices, Fragments, Knots...

'Knot'? In what sense can 'knot' be used?
I still prefer 'cell'. The parallel to single celled / multi-cellular
life forms
makes sense, and there is really no overloading of the word in the world of
computers.
