Cluster cloning in the cloud
Blog post from Elastic
Konrad Beiske's article discusses the process and benefits of using Elastic Cloud, previously known as Found, for cloning Elasticsearch clusters in the cloud. By leveraging the Snapshot and Restore API, users can efficiently duplicate clusters without impacting the performance of the source cluster, providing flexibility for various use cases such as ad hoc analytics, testing upgrades, enabling developers, testing mapping changes, and integration testing. The article details the steps required to clone a cluster, including preparing the target cluster, selecting a snapshot, and issuing a restore, while highlighting the importance of compatibility and non-conflicting indexes. The data transfer occurs from backups in S3, ensuring no performance implications on the source cluster during the restore process. Elastic Cloud's cloning capabilities extend its automated backup service, allowing users to manage their clusters with ease while benefiting from the isolation and scalability provided by separate clusters.
