Hello,

I see in ECE 2.13 the node\_type parameter in the instances is replaced with node\_types, but I see the documentation examples and there is still node\_type being mentioned:

[Create instance configurations | Elastic Cloud Enterprise Reference [2.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ece-configuring-ece-instance-configurations-create.html)

This mean the documentation is wrong, or the change applies only in some parts of the API?

What is more confusing is the deployment config section uses both:

[Create deployment templates | Elastic Cloud Enterprise Reference [2.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ece-configuring-ece-create-templates.html)

And node type in a different format

master: true

vs

master

Thanks
