## [](#availability-zones)Availability Zones

Every AWS region includes a number of independent availability zones. These consist of one or more discrete data centers that are isolated from failures in other availability zones. Operational Insights can automatically distribute cluster [nodes](#nodes) across multiple availability zones in a region for the highest availability.

The **Single Availability Zone** option is the default when creating clusters using the Developer Pro or Enterprise [Service Plans](#billing:billing.adoc#support-plans).

## [](#configuration-options)Configuration Options

Clusters deployed onto AWS can be customized to suit your needs.

### [](#nodes)Nodes

Clusters can have a minimum of 1 node and a maximum of 32 nodes.

> [!NOTE]
> The option to deploy across multiple AWS availability zones is only available for clusters that deploy with a minimum of 2 nodes.

### [](#compute-and-memory)Compute and Memory

Operational Insights provides the following compute configurations for databases deployed onto AWS.

__Table 1\. AWS compute configurations__
| vCPU     | Memory |
| -------- | ------ |
| 4 vCPUs  | 32 GB  |
| 8 vCPUs  | 32 GB  |
| 8 vCPUs  | 64 GB  |
| 16 vCPUs | 64 GB  |
| 16 vCPUs | 128 GB |
