The tutorial discusses the process of running Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK) on Kubernetes using the Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) framework. It begins with an overview of Kubernetes, describing it as an orchestrator that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications across clusters of machines. The text explains key Kubernetes concepts like nodes, pods, services, namespaces, deployments, and persistent storage, emphasizing how they facilitate efficient container management. Detailed instructions are provided for setting up a Kubernetes cluster using Vagrant and VirtualBox, highlighting the installation and configuration steps needed to create a master node and worker nodes. The tutorial also touches on advanced Kubernetes features such as stateful sets, operators, and custom resources, which are essential for managing complex applications like Elasticsearch. The hands-on exercises aim to provide practical experience in deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters, setting the stage for implementing the ELK stack on this platform.
