= Distributing compute machines across failure domains

[role="_abstract"]
You can distribute compute machines across Nutanix failure domains by editing or replacing existing compute machine sets.

* Editing existing compute machine sets allows you to distribute compute machines across Nutanix failure domains as a minimal configuration update.
* Replacing existing compute machine sets ensures that the specification is immutable and all your machines are the same.
