-The cluster layout in Garage is a table that assigns to each node a role in
-the cluster. The role of a node in Garage can either be a storage node with
-a certain capacity, or a gateway node that does not store data and is only
-used as an API entry point for faster cluster access.
-An introduction to building cluster layouts can be found in the [production deployment](@/documentation/cookbook/real-world.md) page.
-
-## How cluster layouts work in Garage
-
-In Garage, a cluster layout is composed of the following components:
-
-- a table of roles assigned to nodes
-- a version number
-
-Garage nodes will always use the cluster layout with the highest version number.
-
-Garage nodes also maintain and synchronize between them a set of proposed role
-changes that haven't yet been applied. These changes will be applied (or
-canceled) in the next version of the layout
-
-The following commands insert modifications to the set of proposed role changes
-for the next layout version (but they do not create the new layout immediately):
-
-```bash
-garage layout assign [...]
-garage layout remove [...]
-```
-
-The following command can be used to inspect the layout that is currently set in the cluster
-and the changes proposed for the next layout version, if any:
-
-```bash
-garage layout show
-```
-
-The following commands create a new layout with the specified version number,
-that either takes into account the proposed changes or cancels them:
-
-```bash
-garage layout apply --version <new_version_number>
-garage layout revert --version <new_version_number>
-```
-
-The version number of the new layout to create must be 1 + the version number
-of the previous layout that existed in the cluster.  The `apply` and `revert`
-commands will fail otherwise.
-
-## Warnings about Garage cluster layout management
-
-**Warning: never make several calls to `garage layout apply` or `garage layout
-revert` with the same value of the `--version` flag. Doing so can lead to the
-creation of several different layouts with the same version number, in which
-case your Garage cluster will become inconsistent until fixed.** If a call to
-`garage layout apply` or `garage layout revert` has failed and `garage layout
-show` indicates that a new layout with the given version number has not been
-set in the cluster, then it is fine to call the command again with the same
-version number.
-
-If you are using the `garage` CLI by typing individual commands in your
-shell, you shouldn't have much issues as long as you run commands one after
-the other and take care of checking the output of `garage layout show`
-before applying any changes.
-
-If you are using the `garage` CLI to script layout changes, follow the following recommendations:
-
-- Make all of your `garage` CLI calls to the same RPC host. Do not use the
-  `garage` CLI to connect to individual nodes to send them each a piece of the
-  layout changes you are making, as the changes propagate asynchronously
-  between nodes and might not all be taken into account at the time when the
-  new layout is applied.
-
-- **Only call `garage layout apply` once**, and call it **strictly after** all
-  of the `layout assign` and `layout remove` commands have returned.
