+OpenShift Masters serve the API and web console and coordinate the jobs to run
+across the environment.  If desired you can specify multiple Master systems for
+an HA deployment, in which case you will be prompted to identify a *separate*
+system to act as the load balancer for your cluster after all Masters and Nodes
+are defined.

+If only one Master is specified, an etcd instance embedded within the OpenShift
+Master service will be used as the datastore.  This can be later replaced with a
+separate etcd instance if desired.  If multiple Masters are specified, a
+separate etcd cluster will be configured with each Master serving as a member.
 
 Any Masters configured as part of this installation process will also be
 configured as Nodes.  This is so that the Master will be able to proxy to Pods
 from the API.  By default this Node will be unscheduleable but this can be changed
 after installation with 'oadm manage-node'.
