👋 howdy,

This important snippet was moved down only under self-managed but also applies to admins in ECK+ECE. (Only ECH manages it for users but it also still does technically apply to them.)

Thank you for spotting and fixing this @stefnestor!

My only suggestion has to do with keeping the message consistent with the note. I'll leave that at your discretion.

Once data is no longer being queried, or being queried rarely, it may move from the cold tier to the frozen tier where it stays for the rest of its life.

The frozen tier requires a snapshot repository. The frozen tier uses [partially mounted indices](/deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/searchable-snapshots.md#partially-mounted) to store and load data from a snapshot repository. This reduces local storage and operating costs while still letting you search frozen data. Because {{es}} must sometimes fetch frozen data from the snapshot repository, searches on the frozen tier are typically slower than on the cold tier.
{{es}} recommends a dedicated nodes for frozen tier. The frozen tier requires a snapshot repository.

Suggestion to use the same language as in the note (for consistency) + minor readability improvement:

We recommend you use dedicated nodes in the frozen tier. The frozen tier requires a snapshot repository and uses [partially mounted indices](/deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/searchable-snapshots.md#partially-mounted) to store and load data from the snapshot repository. This reduces local storage and operating costs while still letting you search frozen data. Because {{es}} must sometimes fetch frozen data from the snapshot repository, searches on the frozen tier are typically slower than on the cold tier.

I also wonder if we should link to [dedicated nodes](/deploy-manage/distributed-architecture/clusters-nodes-shards/node-roles.md#data-frozen-node) like we do in the note, for convenience?
