Abdon Pijpelink 45f19f30ee Break up "Distributed Deployment" page into new "Scaling & Resilience" section (#2491)
* Add new Scaling landing page under Operations

Introduces a Scaling section with vertical vs. horizontal scaling
guidance and failover best practices, linking out to detail pages.

* Add new Vertical Scaling page

Dedicated how-to guidance for resizing existing nodes: when to scale
vertically, RAM sizing formulas, and Cloud/self-hosted resize steps.

* Add new Horizontal Scaling and Resilience page

Covers Raft consensus, the replication model, consistency guarantees,
Multi-AZ, and the resilience terminology used elsewhere in the docs.

* Move Distributed Deployment under Scaling and update all incoming links

Moves distributed_deployment.md into the new scaling/ section, trims
its Raft/Replication/Consistency intros into cross-links to the new
Horizontal Scaling and Resilience page, adds Multi-AZ and single-replica
cross-link callouts in the Cloud docs, rewrites all internal references
across ~30 files to the new canonical path instead of relying on
aliases, and applies Title Case to Distributed Deployment's headers.

* Split Resilience out of Horizontal Scaling and Resilience

Adds a dedicated Resilience page covering fault tolerance, Multi-AZ,
resilience terminology, and failover best practices (moved from the
Scaling landing page). Horizontal Scaling is retitled and scoped to
the underlying mechanics: Raft consensus, replication, and consistency.

* Reorganize Horizontal Scaling's structure

Moves "How Many Qdrant Nodes Should I Run?" from Distributed Deployment
into Horizontal Scaling, adds a conceptual Sharding section, and
reorders Sharding/Replication/Raft Consensus/Consistency. Moves the
remaining conceptual content out of Distributed Deployment: Temporary
Node Failure to Resilience, Error Handling folded into Replication,
sharding heuristics folded into Sharding, and the Consensus
Checkpointing explanation folded into Raft Consensus.

* Rename Scaling section to Scaling & Resilience

Renames the section and restructures the landing page: the vertical-
vs-horizontal decision is now purely about scaling, with a dedicated
Resilience section covering fault tolerance through sharding and
multi-node deployments.

* Polish Vertical Scaling and Resilience page content

Reframes Vertical Scaling's "What Not to Do" as positive "Best
Practices". Reworks Resilience's structure: moves the uptime/data-
integrity terminology into the intro as three distinct aspects of
resilience, and renames "How Resilience Works" to "Setting Up a
Resilient Qdrant Cluster".

* Add diagrams illustrating sharding and replication

Adds cluster diagrams to the Sharding and Replication sections on
Horizontal Scaling to make the shard/replica layout easier to follow.

* Add new Node Failure Recovery page

Extracts the node failure recovery scenarios out of Distributed
Deployment into their own page, with each bolded sub-header converted
to a proper heading, and links updated across Resilience and the
Scaling landing page.

* Add new Consistency Guarantees page

Extracts write consistency factor, read consistency, and write
ordering out of Distributed Deployment into their own page, positioned
after Distributed Deployment.

* Add new "Deploy Behind a Load Balancer" section

Explains why a load balancer is needed in front of a multi-node
Qdrant cluster: avoiding a single point of failure at the entry point
and making sure replicas on every node actually serve reads.

* Add new "Rebalancing" section

Documents how Qdrant Cloud automatically rebalances shards across
nodes, as its own subsection under Sharding.

* Rewrite Multi-AZ vs. Replication Factor as Multi-AZ Deployments

Defines an availability zone on first use, explains why multi-AZ
deployments guard against a zone going down, clarifies that Qdrant
Cloud is zone-aware once enabled, and that self-hosted deployments
need to place and move replicas across zones manually.

* Restructure node-count guidance into One/Two/Three-or-more Node subsections

Splits "How Many Qdrant Nodes Should I Run?" into three subsections
and drops the "balanced" framing for two nodes: it states plainly
that two nodes give more capacity without true high availability.

* Add new "Which Configuration Is Right for You?" section

Summarizes the one/two/three-or-more node tradeoffs in one place
right after the detailed breakdown.

* Add explicit _redirects entry for legacy distributed_deployment URL

Closes the redirect chain: the existing /guides/ and /operations/
legacy rules both terminate at /documentation/distributed_deployment/,
which previously had no explicit _redirects entry and only resolved
via the Hugo alias meta-refresh page.

* Fix all incoming links to Distributed Deployment and pages under Scaling

Repoints two same-page anchors in distributed_deployment.md that broke
when Write Ordering moved to Consistency Guarantees, and one link in
cloud/create-cluster.md that broke when a Resilience heading was
reworded.

* Update time-based sharding diagram and restructure section

* Fix a couple of broken links

* Move 'Consensus Checkpointing' to 'Node Failure Recovery' page

Qdrant Cloud Premium Tier

Qdrant Cloud offers an optional premium tier for customers who require additional features and better SLA support levels. The premium tier includes:

  • 24/7 Support: Our support team is available around the clock to help you with any issues you may encounter (compared to 10x5 in standard).
  • Shorter Response Times: Premium customers receive priority support and can expect faster response times, with shorter SLAs.
  • 99.9% Uptime SLA: We guarantee 99.9% uptime for your Qdrant Cloud clusters (compared to 99.5% in standard).
  • Single Sign-On (SSO): Premium customers can use their existing SSO provider to manage access to Qdrant Cloud.
  • VPC Private Links: Premium customers can connect their Qdrant Cloud clusters to their VPCs using private links.
  • Storage encryption with shared keys: Premium customers can encrypt their data at rest using their own keys.
  • Topology Aware Multi-AZ Setup: Premium customers can deploy their clusters across multiple availability zones for higher availability and resilience. This guarantees a 99.95% uptime SLA for Multi-AZ clusters. Multi-AZ is independent of replication factor; see Multi-AZ Deployments for the distinction.

Please refer to the Qdrant Cloud SLA for a detailed definition on uptime and support SLAs.
