Elastic stack

  1. 🚀 Setting Up Elastic Stack Development Environment with ECK

    • Learn how to create a scalable Elastic stack development environment.
    • ECK (Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes) enables easy scalability and deployment.
    • Suitable for running on laptops or cloud providers.
  2. 📈 Elastic Stack Evolution and Complexity

    • Elastic stack has evolved from a simple search engine.
    • Now encompasses Observability, Security, and Search solutions.
    • Includes numerous components like Kibana, Beats, Elastic-agent, Logstash, and more.
  3. 🛠️ Alternatives for Installing Elastic Stack

    • Explore various installation methods for Elastic stack.
    • Options range from fully automated Elastic Cloud to manual configurations.
    • Avoid using deprecated solutions like Elastic Helm charts.
  4. 🤔 Challenges with Previous Solutions

    • Elastic-package, while good for development, has limitations.
    • Lacks the flexibility to choose components and doesn't scale for production.
    • Depends on Docker and Docker-compose, limiting container runtime options.
  5. 🌟 Optimal Development Environment with ECK

    • ECK (Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes) is recommended for developers.
    • Runs Elastic stack on a Kubernetes cluster using operators and CRDs.
    • Suitable for both cloud providers and powerful laptops.
