Summary

Managing large-scale, complex infrastructures has become standard for many organizations, leading to the development of tools like Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) to simplify operations such as setup, scaling, and upgrades. ECK, the official Operator, facilitates the orchestration and management of Elasticsearch and Kibana on Kubernetes platforms, such as Red Hat's OpenShift, allowing for streamlined deployment and management of the Elastic Stack. This guide details the process of deploying Elasticsearch and Kibana on OpenShift using ECK, including setting up observability with Metricbeat and Filebeat to monitor OpenShift logs and metrics. By leveraging Elastic Observability, users can unify their infrastructure monitoring data for a comprehensive view of system health. The blog post highlights the importance of proper configurations, such as adjusting virtual memory settings and setting permissions, to ensure successful deployment, and encourages users to explore Elastic's additional observability features, like Elastic APM, for enhanced monitoring capabilities.
