 influence model performance, you can configure the number of allocations and the 
 number of threads used by each allocation of your deployment.
 
+IMPORTANT: If your deployed trained model has only one allocation, it's likely 
+that you will experience downtime in the service your trained model performs. 
+You can reduce or eliminate downtime by adding more allocations to your trained 
+models.

 Throughput can be scaled by adding more allocations to the deployment; it 
 increases the number of {infer} requests that can be performed in parallel. All 
 allocations assigned to a node share the same copy of the model in memory. The
