ElasticSearch OpsWorks

Take a look at https://github.com/ThoughtWorksStudios/opsworks-elasticsearch-cookbook/blob/0.0.1/Berksfile for all cookbook versions installed. This has not been tested with other versions. YMMV.

Before deployment

Please setup the following dependencies in your AWS region:

SSL certificate
An SSH key pair, defaults to a keypair named "elasticsearch" if not specified
A domain name for accessing the elasticsearch cluster
A Route53 zone for the domain
The default aws-opsworks-service-role and aws-opsworks-ec2-role need to exist before provisioning. OpsWorks should automatically create these roles when you add your first stack through the OpsWorks console. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/gettingstarted-simple-stack.html and http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/opsworks-security-appsrole.html for details.
