Automatic node repair Disabled
Autoscaling Off
Preemptible nodes Disabled

- You can turn on auto-upgrades and that's probably more secure. Some users had concerns about auto-upgrading and compatibility, so it's off by default. It's also not available on alpha clusters, and many users are using alpha clusters.
- Autoscaling/auto-repair won't help or hurt - only one Vault node will service requests at a time
- Preemptible VMs last no longer than 24 hours and can be terminated at any time
