    To me this suggests that a certain minimum number of *hosts* per

Looks correct to me.  Ideally you'd have more nodes per region than k+m; otherwise a reboot would mean WAN traffic - or if that's not possible - temporary unavailability.


Awesome thanks!

Doing a bit more playing about leads me to think that for a *single region* EC policy we can get a tighter lower bound on the number of hosts: I'm calculating it as (k+m)/m. So in the case I was playing with before (k=8, m=2), then I need 5 hosts in my region. While testing does seem to support this, does it sound reasonable?

Cheers
