Hi everyone, need to understand what is the best configuration to implement, like

- number of nodes
- lifecycle policies
- timing
- shards

I have more or less 15 indexes and an average between 300GB each per day, totally I have 1TB per day of data.  
I have 9 nodes 3 hot,3 warm, and 3 cold, are enough?

any help will be much appreciated, and let me know if I need to share more info.

Thanks
