rack

This property sets the logical rack for the current node. These are used by the snitch to help distribute data in ways that support high availability. As with dc, good rack names may be physical racks on the data center floor, or they may be representative of availability zones in a public cloud.

For example:

rack=Central_2A
Public cloud availability zones can and do go down. Therefore, it is a good idea to make sure to take availability zones into account during deployment. This will help to ensure both even data distribution and maximum availability.
