Summary

The text provides a comprehensive guide on deploying Elasticsearch and Kibana on Azure using an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template, available through the Azure Marketplace. It explains how this template simplifies the process of provisioning resources, allowing users to integrate Elasticsearch deployments into their build automation pipelines. Key features of the ARM template include the ability to configure parameters such as snapshot and restore functionality, Transport Layer Security (TLS), load balancing, and SSL offloading with Application Gateway. The document details deployment scenarios using Azure CLI and PowerShell, including configuring Service Principals for automated deployments, setting up TLS and SSL certificates, and integrating additional Azure resources like storage accounts and virtual networks. It also covers scenarios such as deploying multiple clusters within a virtual network, connecting Azure App Services to Elasticsearch for internal communication, and performing data snapshots and restores using Azure storage. The guide concludes by highlighting the ARM template's flexibility and ease of integration with existing Azure resources, enabling robust data analysis using Elasticsearch and Kibana.
