 - Large Loki clusters benefit from a disk based caching solution, memcached-extstore. Please see the detailed [blog post](https://grafana.com/blog/2023/08/23/how-we-scaled-grafana-cloud-logs-memcached-cluster-to-50tb-and-improved-reliability/) and read more about [memcached/nvm-caching here](https://memcached.org/blog/nvm-caching/).
 - If you’re running a cluster that handles less than 30TB/day (~1PB/month) ingestion, we do not recommend configuring memcached-extstore. The additional operational complexity does not justify the savings.

+These are the node types we suggest from various cloud providers. Please see the relevant specifications in the provider's documentation.
+- For AWS any General Purpose machine available in your region that belongs to `M6` instance family and above for Intel chips and `T2` machine family and above for ARM chips.
+- For GCP any General Purpose machine available in your region that belongs to to `E2` instance family and above.
+- For memcached-extstore nodes we suggest storage optimised instances that can has NVMe storage so that the additional disk space is utilized.
