Hi, I'm trying the complete the "ECE Fundamentals" labs, but I've hit a problem when I trying to create a new deployment via the Cloud UI in Lab 3. I receive the following message:

> Latest change to Elasticsearch configuration failed

Hovering over the information tooltip I see the following extra information:

> Plan change failed: not enough capacity to allocate instances(s)

See attached screenshot. Any advice on how I might be able to get past this would be much appreciated.

Hi @rcorfield ,

did you installed the three nodes in your ECE architecture?

Best,

Hi @Andre_Murbach_Maidl

Yes, I did install the three nodes, but there was a problem. I accidentally installed the third one against the second availability zone. So I only have two allocators. I wondered whether that might be causing this but I haven't yet figured out how to delete it or move it to a third availability zone.

Hi @rcorfield ,

I replaced your lab, so you can restart and install the three availability zones.

Best,  
Andre
