- Three master+data nodes
- Three r3.xlarge.elasticsearch nodes (4 cpu, 30G memory, 80G ssd)
- all serve as master and data nodes
- can't do multi availibility zones
- aws es service is limited to 2 azs max so if you want to do multiple azs, node count needs to be even
 
- $1058 a month
- Four master+data nodes
- same as above but use 4 nodes to get multiple azs
