how large is a microcloud?

[setharnold]

Hello, there's two conflicting statements on the new microcloud page:

https://canonical.com/microcloud

• MicroClouds are highly available by default, so a minimum of three systems are needed.

• MicroCloud is lightweight enough that it can run on a developer laptop.

I think there's a reasonable chance some percentage of potential users will bail as soon as they see the "requires three machines" line. I suggest something like:

"While MicroCloud can be useful on a single developer laptop, a minimum production deployment is three systems."

Thanks

Ah, now that I've read a bit of the documentation, I see that the three systems are a bit of a hard requirement. Anyway, it feels like something ought to be said that the general environment can be run on a single machine in some form.

Thanks

@Sophie-32 could you take a look?

Looks like a good first issue. I can change the statements if provided @setharnold.

@setharnold thank you for opening an issue. The text is decided to stay as it is now until September launch.
