A cookbook, when you cook, is a collection of recipes.
Similarly, Garage's cookbook contains a collection of recipes that are known to works well!

With nodes dispersed in 3 datacenters or more, here are the guarantees Garage provides with the default replication strategy (3 copies of all data, which is the recommended value):
- The cluster remains fully functionnal as long as the machines that fail are in only one datacenter. This includes a whole datacenter going down due to power/Internet outage.
- The cluster remains fully functional as long as the machines that fail are in only one datacenter. This includes a whole datacenter going down due to power/Internet outage.
- No data is lost as long as the machines that fail are in at most two datacenters.
Of course this only works if your Garage nodes are correctly configured to be aware of the datacenter in which they are located.

We encourage you to use a fixed tag (eg. `v0.1.1d`) and not the `latest` tag.

For this example, we will use the latest published version at the time of the writing which is `v0.2.1` but it's up to you
to check [the most recent versions on the Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/lxpz/garage_amd64/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated).

### Identifier

It will display the IP address associated with each node; from the IP address you will be able to recognize the node.
### Tokens
### Capacity
Garage reasons on an arbitrary metric about disk storage that is named "tokens".
The number of tokens must be proportional to the disk space dedicated to the node.
Additionaly, ideally the number of tokens must be in the order of magnitude of 100
to provide a good trade-off between data load balancing and performances (*this sentence must be verified, it may be wrong*).
Garage reasons on an arbitrary metric about disk storage that is named the *capacity* of a node.
The capacity configured in Garage must be proportional to the disk space dedicated to the node.
Additionaly, the capacity values used in Garage should be as small as possible, with
1 ideally representing the size of your smallest server.
Here we chose 1 token = 10 Go but you are free to select the value that best fit your needs.
Here we chose that 1 unit of capacity = 0.5 To, so that we can express servers of size
1 To and 2 To, as wel as the intermediate size 1.5 To.
