Plan for a cluster
A number of choices must be decided upon when planning a cluster. These choices include the following:
-
The size of the cluster to install based on
-
The number of datacenters.
-
The number of nodes per datacenters.
-
These decisions will then lead to choices for:
-
The size of nodes/types of cloud instances to use.
-
Disk capacity and performance.
The Planning Guide covers hardware selection, estimating disk capacity, anti-patterns, cluster testing, and more.
