How to choose your cloud scheme?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am experimenting most suitable cloud scheme. Cluster has three status Green, Yellow and Red. It is good to have Green cluster. I did so many experiments to choose this and finally get to the conclusion. It is always good to have N = R + 1. Where N is number of nodes and "R" is Number of replicas. So if you want to have 3 replicas than you should go for 4 nodes to keep the cluster status Green Which seems to me good.

I'm not sure if i am explaining in the right direction. Suggestions from someone experienced are highly appreciable.

Thank you.

Basically yes, also note that you can change number of replicas dynamically.

Thanks to confirm this.

Yes, but note that you should really state: N > R + 1. You can have 10
nodes, with an index that has 5 shards and 2 replicas, and still benefit
from it as the shards will balance between the 10 nodes.

Thanks for this wonderful piece of software. Nodes are simply directly proportional to replicas.
