Description Patric Uebele 2020-09-23 12:43:19 UTC
Describe the issue: While the installation guides is clear about the minimum of three nodes for production use, it's note explicitly documented that for multi-site clusters, an odd number of sites are required.

Describe the task you were trying to accomplish:

Suggestions for improvement: Add the sentence below to the "Important" note in 1.2 :
