When setting up an Elasticsearch cluster with dedicated master nodes, is it recommended that those dedicated master nodes be on separate Kubernetes nodes than the data nodes?

Welcome to our community! 😃

Generally it's a good idea if you can do that, as it means the data node workload won't impact the master. Also make sure that you don't have multiple masters nodes on the same kubernetes node.

Thanks! I figured that would probably be the case.
