How to deploy Elastic Agents in air-gapped environments

In environments where internet access is restricted, deploying Elastic Agents can become a complex process due to the need for manual artifact downloads and updates. Pete Ward, a senior engineer, addresses this challenge with the creation of the artifacts-bundler tool, which streamlines the download and management of Elastic Stack components for offline use. This tool automates the fetching, packaging, and distribution of necessary binaries and security artifacts, allowing organizations to deploy Elastic Agents in air-gapped environments efficiently. It supports both traditional server setups and containerized deployments, providing flexibility and scalability. By simplifying artifact management, the tool reduces manual labor and potential errors, enabling organizations to focus more on configuration and optimization rather than logistical challenges. The artifacts-bundler is offered on GitHub, encouraging community adoption and further development to meet the needs of various sectors, including government, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.
