hi,

Because it is not possible to achieve an environment with high availability (HA) with two nodes? And if with three nodes
 
But because if I have two nodes, and one node fails, the other node is still running, would it continue to provide services, would high availability be met?
 
The 3 nodes is required as when 1 falls off, 2 nodes still talk to each other and agree the cluster is up. When you only have 2 nodes and 1 falls off, neither know which one has become the master. The third node is like a tie breaker.
