          Does Azure IoT Operations offer high availability across multi-node setup?
-      answer: Yes, Azure IoT Operations workloads on K3s and HCI/AKS-Arc multi-node clusters support distribution of workloads across multi-nodes setups. The MQTT Broker does automatically replicates states across multiple nodes governed by the Broker's 'cardinality' setting. Replicas are distributed across different nodes in a multi-node cluster and data isn't lost if there's one set of replicas running and healthy.

     - question: |
          How can we ensure zero or minimal data loss in an Azure IoT Operations setup?
       answer: To achieve zero message loss, a minimum 3-node cluster is required. This configuration allows for one node to reboot or go offline without data loss. However, if the entire cluster goes down or enough nodes are lost to disrupt quorum, message loss might occur.
