Node types
Agent, Remote, Hub, and Zoo
OctoMY™ has four node types, each serving a distinct role in the distributed system.
Did You Know?
Each node type has a distinctive theme color: Agent is red (action), Remote is blue (control), Hub is green (coordination), and Zoo is orange (services). These colors appear throughout the UI to help users quickly identify what they're working with.
