Nodes & the daemon

A node is a machine running the Halyard daemon that executes agent sessions.

The daemon

Section titled “The daemon”

The daemon registers a machine with the controller, heartbeats its health, and advertises its capacity so the scheduler can place sessions on it. A node that stops heartbeating is drained automatically.

Bring your own hardware

Section titled “Bring your own hardware”

Install the daemon on any machine — laptop, server, or VM — and register it as a node within an enclave. See Register a node to get started.
