+This section lists resource requirements for {props.edition} for various capacity levels. In {props.edition}, the terms _small_,

+
+The recommended maximum number of deployed nodes and clusters in the environment should not be exceeded. We have tested

+can negatively impact performance and result in instability. The active workload limit refers to the maximum number of
+active nodes and pods at any given time.
