Definitely 3, that’s the redundancy factor!

I thought it was 3 nodes, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I need to think about how redundancy affects this.

I’m a bit unsure, but I feel like it could be 2 nodes. I think I saw a similar question about maintenance modes in our practice tests.

If I remember correctly, with a redundancy factor of 3, we can only take down a certain number of nodes without losing availability.

I think we might need to consider the redundancy factor when deciding how many nodes can go into maintenance mode.
