I was just following the docs and they seem to set a different port or each node but that was probably because the "Quick Start" was on one machine. Thanks for the clarification.
Now I am running into a different problem. I joined one machine to the cluster just fine. But joining the third node to the cluster results in: [azureuser@bsicentos1 ~]$ sudo riak-admin cluster join riak@10.79.90.11 Attempting to restart script through sudo -H -u riak Failed: This node is already a member of a cluster But looking at the plan I don't see that it is "already a member". How is it already a member?

Each machine can use the same ports as the other machines. You just can't use the same ports on the same machine. Setting different port numbers on different machines just complicates things for no reason. In theory, your app.config file can (should?) be identical for all your Riak nodes in a cluster. So, for instance, if you decided to use ports 8098 for pb_port, 8099 for http and 8100 for handoff_port then you could set those ports the same on all three of your machines. The handoff_port is used for each node of the cluster to talk to each other. Hope this helps!
