Research direction

Start with the linked Plan Your Cluster—Basic page and its Multi-region clusters section, then compare the linked stable data-resilience table. Confirm the correct minimum-region guidance for Basic clusters and update the conflicting documentation so both references agree; verify the two linked sections after editing.

What is the reason for your feedback?

[ ] Missing the information I need

Additional details

On the Multi-region clusters section it is mentioned that "Basic clusters can survive zone failures with only two regions". However in the table Choose an HA strategy it appears that the "Minimum regions to achieve fault tolerance" for "Single-region replication" is 1.
