7676The Control Plane, Metastore and, Janitor are lightweight components.
77- Each of these services requires 1 replica.

79- The Control Plane needs a single core and 2GB of RAM. It doesn't require any disk.
80-
81- The Metastore also requires a single core and 2GB of RAM. For clusters handling
82- hundreds of indexes, you may increase the size to 2 cores and 4GB of RAM. It
83- doesn't write to disk.
84-
85- In general, the Janitor requires 1 core and 2GB of RAM and doesn't use the disk.
86- If you use the [ delete API] ( https://quickwit.io/docs/overview/concepts/deletes ) ,
87- the Janitor should be dimensioned like an indexer.
78+ - ** Control Plane** : A cluster must have only one Control Plane. It needs a
79+ single core and 2GB of RAM. It doesn't require any disk.
80+
81+ - ** Metastore** : A cluster must have exactly one Metastore when using the
82+ [ file-backed metastore] ( ../configuration/metastore-config.md#file-backed-metastore ) .
83+ When using the [ PostgreSQL metastore] ( #postgres-metastore-backend ) , you can
84+ run one or several Metastore pods for high availability (HA). The Metastore
85+ requires a single core and 2GB of RAM. For clusters handling hundreds of
86+ indexes, you may increase the size to 2 cores and 4GB of RAM. It doesn't
87+ write to disk (when using PostgreSQL, the database handles persistence).
88+
89+ - ** Janitor** : A cluster must have only one Janitor. In general, it requires 1
90+ core and 2GB of RAM and doesn't use the disk. If you use the [ delete
91+ API] ( https://quickwit.io/docs/overview/concepts/deletes ) , the Janitor should
92+ be dimensioned like an indexer.
