<@U06RKAMK0UC> what’s the difference between a node and a task?

A *node* represents a unit of execution within a Flyte workflow, encapsulating tasks, sub-workflows, or external workflows. Nodes can have inputs and outputs, which coordinate task inputs and outputs, and can be of various types such as task nodes, workflow nodes, and branch nodes (<https://docs.flyte.org/en/latest/concepts/nodes.html|Flyte Nodes>).

A *task* is the primary building block of a Flyte pipeline, representing an independent unit of execution with typed, declarative inputs and outputs. Tasks are containerized and run in isolation within their own Kubernetes pods (<https://docs.flyte.org/en/latest/flyte_fundamentals/tasks_workflows_and_launch_plans.html|Flyte Tasks>).
