Elastic is enhancing its cloud-native capabilities by releasing Helm charts for Elasticsearch and Kibana, and joining the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). These developments aim to simplify the deployment of Elastic Stack on Kubernetes, leveraging Helm as a package manager to streamline the process. The Elastic Stack, including data collectors like Filebeat and Metricbeat, offers comprehensive observability tools that integrate with Kubernetes to monitor logs, metrics, and tracing data. Elastic APM supports distributed tracing, allowing for detailed performance analysis of microservices architectures. Joining CNCF aligns with Elastic's commitment to open-source principles and fosters collaboration on open tracing and metrics standards within the cloud-native community. Elastic's participation in KubeCon North America 2018 highlights these advancements and showcases its integration capabilities with Kubernetes and other CNCF projects.
