Hi,

a new tutorial, covering deploying ElasticSearch with Chef Solo has  
been just published:

--\> [http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2012/03/21/deploying-elasticsearch-with-chef-solo.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/2012/03/21/deploying-elasticsearch-with-chef-solo.html)

It uses the [https://github.com/karmi/cookbook-elasticsearch](https://github.com/karmi/cookbook-elasticsearch)  
cookbook, includes Monit configuration and a Nginx-based reverse proxy  
for HTTP authentication, and does not require a Chef Server account.

The tutorial should take about about half an hour to complete and  
should leave you with a fully operational cluster at AWS. Information  
for non-AWS environments is provided as well.

Please report any issues you run into here, or, better, submit a  
ticket at \<[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.github.com/](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.github.com/)  
issues\>.

Karel
