-##Objective
+## Objective
 
 This document describes the reversibility policy for the Managed Search Engine Software Platform product covering the OVHcloud Managed OpenSearch offer.
 
 This policy aims to implement the general reversibility principles and our compliance with the SWIPO IAAS Code of Conduct for cloud providers.
 
-##List of features
+## List of features
 
 Features of the product line fall into three categories:
 
 1. **Core features** for which we guarantee migration capacity.
 2. **OVHcloud implementations** that require adaptation to a new migration environment.
 3. **Specific features** that cannot be guaranteed for migration as they are related to the OVHcloud environment or involve custom developments.

+## List of architectures
 
-##List of architectures
 The product offers multi-node clusters (up to 3 nodes for the Business range), with data replication for high availability. Automatic sharding is managed via the number of replicas configured per index.
+
 Architectures include:
+
 - Dedicated cluster: Logical isolation of resources by project.
-- vRack integration: Secure interconnection with other OVHcloud services
-- Vertical scalability: Node scalability (RAM, storage) via the OVHcloud interface
