Nothing but a taxonomic digression I'd say.
An "host" is in a *classical* term a server that runs virtual machines...it could be either a server that "runs" something. A "node" is the OpenStack context a compute node...meaning an "host" that runs instances.

Hi All.

Can someone give me some idea what's the difference between 'host' and
'node'?

I wonder if it is because compute host will control other physical server
(host or node?) in baremetal scene, so we need to distinguish?
But I'm not sure about it.
