Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes for best scalability

Reviewed on 22/04/2022

Organizing chat data to be searchable and log management to proactively fix issues.

Organizing chat data to be searchable and log management to proactively fix issues.

Pros

One of the best features I like is that Elastic built their own kubernetes operator to extend the k8s orchestration and make it easy to deploy, scale, change, secure and configure hot-warm infrastructures. Their operator saves a ton of time during configuration. I have deployed stacks on different k8s architectures like Azure Kubernetes Service, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service and small on prem clusters with microk8s without issues. When we reach performance thresholds we add more elastic nodes and ECK secures and joins it to the cluster and in minutes we can leverage the extra compute. A lot of changes that are done after going to PROD are non-disruptive since ECK is aware of the main node and makes sure to pass the master role before the main one is re-deployed. I have also migrated Elastic Cloud Enterprise deployments running on bare metal and the stability of ECK is unmatched.

Cons

Currently it is not recommended or supported for a PROD cluster to do its own self monitoring so you have to deploy a monitoring cluster. In cloud scenarios this adds costs and extra complexity so it will be great to have this feature supported.

Given what the open source version offer, I am happy and definitely recommend it for SME and small project. But when it comes to bigger company with lots of customization and integration, it might become challenging

Pros

It has open source version so that anyone can start using without worrying about cost. It is also widely used, so once you are familiar with ELK, you are likely to have a good fundamental knowledge of how monitoring, logging... works

Cons

To a certain extent, it gets complicated when it comes to set up, scale and manage infrastructure. Also, out of the box integration with popular tools are not as great as other alternatives.

Reasons for Switching to Elastic Stack

We can use the open source version and it is free. For a start up, that is an important criterion for us.

Overall I am happy with my decision to choose Elastic Stack. It is completely fulfilling my requirements without any issues.Kibana works very well even with a lot of data.

Pros

I mostly like the Elastic Search queries. Those follow a certain standard and work very well. Data retrieval is very easy and fast in Elastic Search.Visualizing data thru Kibana is very smooth and straightforward. It supports a couple of inbuilt dashboards to represent the data nicely.

Cons

Nothing to dislike about Elastic Stack. The only thing is configuration and setup should be correct. It could take some time for beginners.
