-Data retrieval requests to Garage endpoints (S3 API and websites) are resolved 
-to an individual object in a bucket. Since objects are replicated to multiple nodes 
-Garage must ensure consistency before answering the request.
-
-## Using quorum to ensure consistency
-
-Garage ensures consistency by attempting to establish a quorum with the
-data nodes responsible for the object. When a majority of the data nodes
-have provided metadata on a object Garage can then answer the request.
-
-When a request arrives Garage will, assuming the recommended 3 replicas, perform the following actions:
-
-- Make a request to the two preferred nodes for object metadata
-- Try the third node if one of the two initial requests fail
-- Check that the metadata from at least 2 nodes match
-- Check that the object hasn't been marked deleted
-- Answer the request with inline data from metadata if object is small enough
-- Or get data blocks from the preferred nodes and answer using the assembled object
-
-Garage dynamically determines which nodes to query based on health, preference, and 
-which nodes actually host a given data. Garage has no concept of "primary" so any 
-healthy node with the data can be used as long as a quorum is reached for the metadata.
-
-## Node health
-
-Garage keeps a TCP session open to each node in the cluster and periodically pings them. If a connection
-cannot be established, or a node fails to answer a number of pings, the target node is marked as failed.
-Failed nodes are not used for quorum or other internal requests.
-
-## Node preference
-
-Garage prioritizes which nodes to query according to a few criteria:
-
-- A node always prefers itself if it can answer the request
-- Then the node prioritizes nodes in the same zone
-- Finally the nodes with the lowest latency are prioritized 
-

-For further reading on the cluster structure look at the [gateway](@/documentation/cookbook/gateways.md) 
-and [cluster layout management](@/documentation/reference-manual/layout.md) pages.
