# Creating redundancy groups
<a name="conductor-live-config-redundancy"></a>

You must create redundancy groups as follows:
+ If your cluster includes a primary and a secondary AWS Elemental Conductor Live node, you must create a redundancy group and add both nodes to the group. It isn't enough to just add the Conductor Live nodes to the cluster.
+ If you want to set up worker nodes for failover resiliency, you must create one or more redundancy groups, then you add worker nodes to each group. 

For general information about how failover resiliency works, and for detailed information about designing redundancy groups that meet your requirements, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elemental-cl3/latest/ug](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elemental-cl3/latest/ug). Then come back to this section to create the groups and add the nodes.
