 ## What is local NVMe?
 
-When your application needs sub-millisecond storage latency and high throughput, you can use local NVMe with Azure Container Storage to meet your performance requirements. Ephemeral means that the disks are deployed on the local virtual machine (VM) hosting the AKS cluster and not saved to an Azure storage service. Data is lost on these disks if you stop/deallocate your VM. Local NVMe disks are offered on select Azure VM families such as [storage-optimized](/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/overview#storage-optimized) VMs.

Local NVMe disks are offered on select Azure VM families such as [storage-optimized](/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/overview#storage-optimized) VMs.
 
 By default, Azure Container Storage creates *generic ephemeral volumes* when using local NVMe disks. For use cases that require *persistent volume claims*, you can add the annotation `localdisk.csi.acstor.io/accept-ephemeral-storage: "true"` in your persistent volume claim template.

 - You need the Kubernetes command-line client, `kubectl`. You can install it locally by running the `az aks install-cli` command.
 
 - Check if your target region is supported in [Azure Container Storage regions](container-storage-introduction.md#regional-availability).
 
-- You can now use clusters with a single node, though multi-node configurations are still recommended.

 ## Choose a VM type that supports local NVMe
 
 Local NVMe disks are only available in certain types of VMs, for example, [storage-optimized VMs](/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/overview#storage-optimized) or [GPU accelerated VMs](/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/overview#gpu-accelerated). If you plan to use local NVMe capacity, choose one of these VM sizes.
