Hey!  
I am new to elastic search. I have set up an elastic cluster in azure using “Elastic Stack - Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash” resource. I had a few questions related to this approach.

What happens when a node fails?  
What are the reasons for it to fail?  
and how to recover?  
if a node gets automatically replaced by azure on failure, does it have to be set up manually or azure takes care of it automatically?

Any help would be appreciated 🙂
