Upgrading between Garage versions should be supported transparently,
but please check the relase notes before doing so!
To upgrade, simply stop and remove this container and
start again the command with a new version of Garage.
If you wish to upgrade your cluster, make sure to read the corresponding
[documentation page](@/documentation/operations/upgrading.md) first, as well as
the documentation relevant to your version of Garage in the case of major
upgrades. With the containerized setup proposed here, the upgrade process
will require stopping and removing the existing container, and re-creating it
with the upgraded version.

Behind the scene, Garage will use zone definition to try to store the same data on different zones,
in order to provide high availability despite failure of a zone.
Zones are passed to Garage using the `-z` flag of `garage layout assign` (see below).
#### Capacity
Garage reasons on an abstract 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.
Garage needs to know the storage capacity (disk space) it can/should use on
each node, to be able to correctly balance data.
Capacity values must be **integers** but can be given any signification.
Here we chose that 1 unit of capacity = 100 GB.
Capacity values are expressed in bytes and are passed to Garage using the `-c` flag of `garage layout assign` (see below).
Note that the amount of data stored by Garage on each server may not be strictly proportional to
its capacity value, as Garage will priorize having 3 copies of data in different zones,
even if this means that capacities will not be strictly respected. For example in our above examples,
nodes Earth and Mars will always store a copy of everything each, and the third copy will
have 66% chance of being stored by Venus and 33% chance of being stored by Mercury.
#### Tags
You can add additional tags to nodes using the `-t` flag of `garage layout assign` (see below).
Tags have no specific meaning for Garage and can be used at your convenience.
#### Injecting the topology
Given the information above, we will configure our cluster as follow:
```bash
garage layout assign 563e -z par1 -c 10 -t mercury
garage layout assign 86f0 -z par1 -c 20 -t venus
garage layout assign 6814 -z lon1 -c 20 -t earth
