That's fine, you just want to make sure that `server.uuid` and `server.name` are unique for each instance.

It can be passed through the environment variables with SERVER\_UUID and SERVER\_NAME, however, I am not sure how to accomplish that on a per replica level in k8s.

Environment variable configuration: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#environment-variable-config](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/docker.html#environment-variable-config)
