Hello, I am exploring recommendations for infra sizing for Elasticsearch hot data nodes in GCP with recommendations for CPU and RAM for probably 3 TB SSD with machine types ex n2d/e2 or some other in similar performance range. ---

Hi there, Worth taking a look at this topic [How do I size my cluster?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-do-i-size-my-cluster/249483) and expanding more on your type of workload (search, security or observability use-cases) to give better advise 🙂 Joe ---
