Fix confusing use of "comprise"

Browse Source 
The word "comprise" means "be composed of" or "contain" so
"applications comprised of multiple containers" would mean
"applications composed of of multiple containers" or "applications
contained of multiple containers" which is confusing.

I understand that this is nitpicking and that "comprise" has a new
meaning which is the opposite of its original definition just like
how "literally" now means "figuratively" to some people. However, I
believe that clarity is of utmost importance in technical
documentation which is why I'm proposing this change.

As an example, consider an image-processing backend which is running with 3
replicas. Those replicas are fungible - frontends do not care which backend
they use. While the actual `Pods` that comprise the backend set may change, the
they use. While the actual `Pods` that compose the backend set may change, the
frontend clients should not need to manage that themselves. The `Service`
abstraction enables this decoupling.
