Yes, but why would you do that? If you are looking for high availability the nodes should be on different hosts.

I just want to save my budget, because I have to rent the cloud servers, not running on the physical servers.

Have you looked at [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/cloud)?

Yea, I got the 14-day trial before, it's very good, especially the latency of dashboard is low. But your price is not reasonable for me. I can hire a cloud server 500Gb SSD 32Gb RAM 16core CPU with 300$ per month, while yours is appoximately 800$
