 There are different installation options available for SUSE Observability. It is possible to install SUSE Observability either in a High-Availability (HA) or single instance (non-HA) setup. The non-HA setup is recommended for testing purposes or small environments. For production environments, it is recommended to install SUSE Observability in a HA setup.
 
-The HA production setup can support from 150 up to 500 Nodes (a Node is counted as<= 4 vCPU and <= 16GB Memory) under observation.
+The HA production setup can support from 150 up to 500 observed nodes. An observed node in this sizing table is taken to be 4 vCPUs and 16GB of memory, our `default node size`.

 There are different installation options available for SUSE Observability. It is possible to install SUSE Observability either in a High-Availability (HA) or single instance (non-HA) setup. The non-HA setup is recommended for testing purposes only. For production environments, it is recommended to install SUSE Observability in a HA setup. For a standard, production, deployment, the SUSE Observability Helm chart will deploy many services in a redundant setup with 3 instances of each service.
 
 In the table below you can find the resource requirements for the different installation options. For the HA setup you can find different installation profiles depending on the size of the environment being observed.
