For Consul's purposes, all server nodes are in the peer set of the local datacenter.
* Quorum - A quorum is a majority of members from a peer set: for a set of size `n`,
quorum requires at least `(n/2)+1` members.
quorum requires at least `(n+1)/2` members.

to form a quorum. If a quorum of nodes is unavailable for any reason, the
cluster becomes *unavailable* and no new logs can be committed.
