== Use a dedicated host

In production, we recommend you run {es} on a dedicated host or as a primary
service. Several {es} features, such as automatic JVM heap sizing, assume it's
the only resource-intensive application on the host or container. For example,
you might run {metricbeat} alongside {es} for cluster statistics, but a
resource-heavy {ls} deployment should be on its own host.
