For performance reasons, the nodes within a cluster need to be on the same

A cluster's nodes need good, reliable connections to each other. To provide
242+
better connections, you typically co-locate the nodes in the same data center or

nearby data centers. However, to maintain high availability, you

also need to avoid any single point of failure. In the event of a major outage
