 ## 🖥 Cluster Configuration
 
-> **Note about IP Addressing**: This configuration uses `192.168.63.1` and `192.168.63.2` for the master and worker nodes respectively. You can modify these IPs in the `Vagrantfile` to use any IP addresses from your router's IP range that are outside the DHCP scope. Make sure to choose IPs that won't conflict with other devices on your network.
