Is this possible? And if so, is it possible to maintain a configuration with only 2 nodes? What would be the maximum recommended timeframe?</P> Mon, 05 Jan 2026 11:58:40 GMT juanrergis 2026-01-05T11:58:40Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Managed-Q-A/What-is-the-minimum-number-of-nodes-I-can-install-in-Dynatrace/m-p/290602#M4567 <P>Due to infrastructure limitations, I can't have 3 nodes readily available, so I want to integrate them one by one, on average every 4 months.

But if you want to have a good redundancy and failover mechanism, best would be 3 nodes.</P><P>I would recommend you reading <A title="Managed failover mechanism" href="https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/shortlink/managed-cluster-failover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Managed failover mechanism</A>.</P><P>Best regards</P> Mon, 01 Dec 2025 17:04:33 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dynatrace-Managed-Q-A/What-is-the-minimum-number-of-nodes-I-can-install-in-Dynatrace/m-p/290607#M4568 AntonPineiro 2025-12-01T17:04:33Z
