Cannot connect to Elasticsearch endpoint in Azure

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
4

@bo.clifton You have a couple of options if you intend to also expose the Elasticsearch cluster (composed of the data nodes) to the public internet:

  1. Deploy an external loadbalancer by using external as the value for the loadBalancerType parameter

  2. Deploy Application Gateway by using gateway as the value for the loadBalancerType. Application Gateway has many more parameters to customize the deployment to your needs. From experience, it also takes around 20-30 minutes to deploy.

In both scenarios, an internal load balancer is also deployed, to allow Kibana to communicate with the cluster. By default, the template deploys only an internal load balancer.

Be careful about exposing Elasticsearch to the public internet; ensure that you have appropriate Authentication and Authorization controls in place, as well as Transport Layer Security. The Elastic Stack Security features can help with this.
