Terraform module to provision an Elasticsearch cluster with built-in integrations with Kibana and Logstash.


This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

Terraform Open Source Modules

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!

Introduction

This module will create:

  • Elasticsearch cluster with the specified node count in the provided subnets in a VPC
  • Elasticsearch domain policy that accepts a list of IAM role ARNs from which to permit management traffic to the cluster
  • Security Group to control access to the Elasticsearch domain (inputs to the Security Group are other Security Groups or CIDRs blocks to be allowed to connect to the cluster)
  • DNS hostname record for Elasticsearch cluster (if DNS Zone ID is provided)
  • DNS hostname record for Kibana (if DNS Zone ID is provided)

NOTE: To enable zone awareness to deploy Elasticsearch nodes into two different Availability Zones, you need to set zone_awareness_enabled to true and provide two different subnets in subnet_ids. If you enable zone awareness for your domain, Amazon ES places an endpoint into two subnets. The subnets must be in different Availability Zones in the same region. If you don't enable zone awareness, Amazon ES places an endpoint into only one subnet. You also need to set availability_zone_count to 1.

Usage

IMPORTANT: We do not pin modules to versions in our examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.

Also, because of a bug in the Terraform registry (hashicorp/terraform#21417), the registry shows many of our inputs as required when in fact they are optional. The table below correctly indicates which inputs are required.

module "elasticsearch" {
  source = "cloudposse/elasticsearch/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version     = "x.x.x"
  namespace               = "eg"
  stage                   = "dev"
  name                    = "es"
  dns_zone_id             = "Z14EN2YD427LRQ"
  security_groups         = ["sg-XXXXXXXXX", "sg-YYYYYYYY"]
  vpc_id                  = "vpc-XXXXXXXXX"
  subnet_ids              = ["subnet-XXXXXXXXX", "subnet-YYYYYYYY"]
  zone_awareness_enabled  = "true"
  elasticsearch_version   = "6.5"
  instance_type           = "t2.small.elasticsearch"
  instance_count          = 4
  ebs_volume_size         = 10
  iam_role_arns           = ["arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXX:role/ops", "arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXX:role/dev"]
  iam_actions             = ["es:ESHttpGet", "es:ESHttpPut", "es:ESHttpPost"]
  encrypt_at_rest_enabled = true
  kibana_subdomain_name   = "kibana-es"

  advanced_options = {
    "rest.action.multi.allow_explicit_index" = "true"
  }
}
