Correct number recommendations

The mathematics of the current recommendations didn't seem to give the right outcomes. Especially with `U`, as you need at least `U+1` to keep availability in the face of `U` failures.

the number that can be unavailable `U`. If you are not sure, then 1 is a fine choice.
If it is allowable for load-balancing to direct traffic to any region in the event of a cluster failure, then
you need `R + U` clusters. If it is not (e.g you want to ensure low latency for all users in the event of a
cluster failure), then you need to have `R * U` clusters (`U` in each of `R` regions). In any case, try to put each cluster in a different zone.
you need at least the larger of `R` or `U + 1` clusters. If it is not (e.g you want to ensure low latency for all

(`U + 1` in each of `R` regions). In any case, try to put each cluster in a different zone.
Finally, if any of your clusters would need more than the maximum recommended number of nodes for a Kubernetes cluster, then
you may need even more clusters. Kubernetes v1.0 currently supports clusters up to 100 nodes in size, but we are targeting
