Elasticsearch

Let's see how to run Elasticsearch (docs, code) in a Kubernetes cluster.

Configuration

We'll use the official Helm chart (code):

values.yaml

Deployment

bash

# adds Helm chart repository
helm repo add elastic https://helm.elastic.co
helm repo update

# installs
helm upgrade --install elasticsearch elastic/elasticsearch --namespace elasticsearch --create-namespace

# checks everything is ok
kubectl get pod -n elasticsearch

# uninstalls
helm uninstall elasticsearch -n elasticsearch
kubectl delete ns elasticsearch
