Scytale Enterprise: Node Sets

A node set describes a hosting environment. It is a collection of one or more virtual and/or physical instances, scaling up or down as necessary based on need. We need a way in the UI to create and modify the parameters

Node sets, once we came up with the name, were very similar to workloads in the fact that they needed a lot of data to be added by the user, therefore we used a form field, data entry model for this feature as well pretty much from the beginning

We believe that the dashboard users will easily be able to build node sets from this platofrm by building an intutivie interface that address all current needs in an extensible manner for future growth

Coming up with appropriate terminology that worked for our stated need was the hardest thing about this part of the product development. We went back and forth for days on the proper term for this and waffled between cluster, node set and a couple other phrases

We made comparisons in terminology from other products, and came to the conclusion this was the right terminology
