LogScale Self-Hosted Deployment

### Cluster types

There are 3 types of LogScale cluster types:

- Basic: Will deploy one node pool `logscale-nodepool` which will host a LogScale cluster whose nodes accomplish all roles and can perform any function within the cluster. This cluster type is fit for xsmall clusters or PoC/demo clusters.

- Ingress: Will deploy two node pools, one which performs all roles `logscale-nodepool`, and one which performs the `httponly` role `logscale-ingress-only-nodepool`. This cluster type can handle cluster sizes up to medium.

- Internal-Ingest: Will deploy three node pools, one which performs all roles `logscale-nodepool`, one which performs the `httponly` role `logscale-ui-nodepool`), and one which performs the `ingestonly` role (`logscale-ingest-only-nodepool`). This is the recommended solution for large and xlarge LogScale clusters.

Selecting the appropriate cluster type is important, as going with a complex type such as Internal-Ingest for a small cluster will significantly increase the costs, while going with the basic type for a large cluster can create performance issues.
