Hello, I have a Production deployment with 3 nodes. What I would like to do is change the deployment type to a Hot / Warm deployment so that I can make accessing the most recent logs much faster and keep older logs in a 'warm' environment. How do I go about doing this? Do I make a new deployment and use a snapshot from the current deployment and then delete the old deployment? Thanks so much. Jennifer ---

You can add tags/attributes to your existing nodes, then set allocation to existing indices based on those at a later point. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/allocation-awareness.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/allocation-awareness.html) has more info. ---
