+
+For self-managed deployments, each node's <<data-node,data role>> is configured
+in `elasticsearch.yml`. For example, the highest-performance nodes in a cluster
+might be assigned to both the hot and content tiers:

 NOTE: We recommend you use <<data-frozen-node,dedicated nodes>> in the frozen
 tier.
