A node is a virtual machine provided by a cloud provider where containers can be deployed.

This is a [namespaced endpoint](#namespaced-endpoints).

### Attributes

Attribute | Description
--------- | -----------
availability_zone | The resource URI of the availability zone where the node is deployed, if any
uuid | A unique identifier for the node generated automatically on creation
resource_uri | A unique API endpoint that represents the node
external_fqdn | An automatically generated FQDN for the node. Containers deployed on this node will inherit this FQDN.
state | The state of the node. See the below table for a list of possible states.
node_cluster | The resource URI of the node cluster to which this node belongs to (if applicable)
node_type | The resource URI of the node type used for the node
region | The resource URI of the region where the node is deployed
docker_execdriver | Docker's execution driver used in the node
docker_graphdriver | Docker's storage driver used in the node
docker_version | Docker's version used in the node
cpu | Node number of CPUs
disk | Node storage size in GB
memory | Node memory in MB
current_num_containers | The actual number of containers deployed in this node
last_seen | Date and time of the last time the node was contacted by Docker Cloud
public_ip | The public IP allocated to the node
tunnel | If the node does not accept incoming connections to port 2375, the address of the reverse tunnel to access the docker daemon, or `null` otherwise
deployed_datetime | The date and time when this node cluster was deployed
destroyed_datetime | The date and time when this node cluster was terminated (if applicable)
tags | List of tags to identify the node when deploying services (see [Tags](/docker-cloud/apps/deploy-tags/) for more information)
nickname | A user-friendly name for the node (`external_fqdn` by default)


### Node states

State | Description
----- | -----------
Deploying | The node is being deployed in the cloud provider. No actions allowed in this state.
Deployed | The node is deployed and provisioned and is ready to deploy containers. Possible actions in this state: `terminate`, `docker-upgrade`.
Unreachable | The node is deployed but Docker Cloud cannot connect to the docker daemon. Possible actions in this state: `health-check` and `terminate`.
Upgrading | The node docker daemon is being upgraded. No actions allowed in this state.
Terminating | The node is being terminated in the cloud provider. No actions allowed in this state.
Terminated | The node has been terminated and is no longer present in the cloud provider. No actions allowed in this state.
