The blog post by Daniel Berman provides a detailed guide on installing the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) on a Windows Server 2012 R2 instance hosted on Amazon Web Services, using newly introduced .msi packages and installation wizards for version 5.5 of Elasticsearch. It outlines step-by-step instructions for installing Elasticsearch as a service with default configurations, launching Kibana, and setting up Filebeat as a log shipper to feed data into Elasticsearch while emphasizing the importance of configuring the necessary files and policies in PowerShell. The post highlights the simplicity introduced by the .msi packages for installing Elasticsearch and discusses the potential need for installing Logstash to handle more advanced data processing and aggregation tasks, although noting the absence of .msi installers for Kibana and Logstash.
