Hey there!

Im trying to deploy kibana within google kubernetes engine.  
When not setting `xpack.security.enabled: true`, everything works fine.

As I would like to have a login page and user administration, I need to set it to true.

But when this is set to true in the `kibana.yml` I get the following error:

```auto
FATAL Error: Unknown configuration key(s): "xpack.security.enabled". Check for spelling errors and ensure that expected plugins are installed.

```

I'm using this image:

[https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/images/cloud-marketplace/global/google/kibana7](https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/images/cloud-marketplace/global/google/kibana7)

So, why cant i enable xpack here?

Welcome to our community! 😃

I am not 100% sure what distribution that GCR image uses, but latest is 7.14. Can you use the images that we provide? [https://www.docker.elastic.co/](https://www.docker.elastic.co/)

Thanks for your welcome and answer!

After changing the image to the non-google adapted image it works perfectly fine.... dont know what google is doing there.
