Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes

See detailed instructions from the PDF file, before the blog goes public.

Minikube

If you need to delete your old cluster, run:

minikube delete

Configure your new Minikube cluster:

minikube config set memory 12288
minikube config set cpus 4
minikube start

Launch the Kubernetes UI:

minikube dashboard

Download and install gcloud, kubectl on your laptop and run the following command using your GKE cluster info.

gcloud config set project elastic-sa
gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-a
gcloud config set container/cluster aquan
gcloud auth login
gcloud container clusters get-credentials aquan --zone us-central1-a --project elastic-sa
kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin-binding --clusterrole=cluster-admin --user=adam.quan@elastic.co
kubectl create clusterrolebinding adam.quan-cluster-admin-binding --clusterrole=cluster-admin --user=adam.quan@elastic.co

Deploy Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK)

kubectl apply -f https://download.elastic.co/downloads/eck/0.9.0/all-in-one.yaml

It should just take a few moment.

Deploy Elasticsearch, Kibana, APM Server

kubectl apply -f apm_es_kibana.yaml

It might take a minute. Check the state of the Elasticsearch, Kibana and APM server pods for all of them to get ready and green.

kubectl get elasticsearch,kibana,apmserver

Access Kibana

Port forward:

echo `kubectl get secret elasticsearch-sample-es-elastic-user -o=jsonpath='{.data.elastic}' | base64 --decode`

Get password of the elastic user, so that you can log into Kibana: http://localhost:5601

kubectl port-forward service/kibana-sample-kb-http 5601

Deploy APM instrumented application

Get APM token:

echo `kubectl get secret apm-server-sample-apm-token -o=jsonpath='{.data.secret-token}' | base64 --decode`

Get APM server URL:

kubectl get services | grep apm

Edit the environment settings of the app.

Deploy the application:

kubectl apply -f shark-node.yaml

Expose as a service:

kubectl expose deployment shark-demo-deployment -n shark

Port forward:

kubectl port-forward service/shark-demo-deployment 8080 -n shark

Access the application: http://localhost:8080

Scale & upgrade
Deploy Metricbeat
