Hi, I have elastic search deployed on GKE and am looking to expose the api with let's encrypt so that I could encrypt that endpoint for sending data to. I have ingress setup but the problem is that it's not connecting to the service of elastic search or port 9200.
Could someone help out with some resource or know hows
Thank you very much

So I was able to expose elasticsearch outside of the cluster and configure let's encrypt cert TLS for the endpoint.
