Description

Region count description is in config section; region size description is in architecture sections; both of these have a lot of good technical details, but imho we could do better in terms of admin-centric advice.
Currently, there's a nearly-empty capacity section; I'd like to rewrite it to consolidate capacity planning/sizing/region sizing information, and some basic configuration pertaining to it.
