Term Bare-metal for installation using rpm is misleading

The term "bare-metal" is misleading for a rpm based installation, in contrast to containerized: bare-metal is usually meaning a non-virtualized environment. When bare-metal is used, the assumption may be to have either no need for an OS or it may run in VMs also whereas containerized requires an OS with containers enabled and may be running either on bare-metal nodes or in VMs.
Please correct wording because it may cause confusion based on another meaning of "bare-metal".

Comment 5 Matthias Muench 2022-07-06 13:54:37 UTC
Re-reading the paragraph, I guess the intention was to briefly explain that we can run on bare metal nodes using rpms and also in containers. Both methods, however are supported for bare metal and when using VMs. 

We might use: "Ceph OSDs can run on bare-metal servers or VMs within the storage cluster, using containers or rpm based deployments."
