12-cluster refers to 'worker (or execute)' nodes. We (and most other US institutions I've worked with) seem to refer to them as the 'compute' nodes. Minor difference that may be regional.

Do we need to think about regional dialect being swapped like cluster names & schedulers ? Or should we just keep adding terms (worker aka execute aka compute) ?

I think it would be good to use a consistent term, but describe alternatives when it's being introduced.

@baberlevi fully on the spot. If you can, please submit a PR on using 'compute node' consistently. Your other concern will be addressed soon. I am just coming back from a longer back and want to invest more time in this project now, if I can.

This seems like a useful set of terms to define in the glossary. Updated #37.
