Elastic search with XPack on Azure K8S

siddheshb · November 20, 2019, 6:50am

I have few queries regarding setting up ES on kubernetes as we are currently facing issues while enabling basic security in our 3 master, 2 data and 2 client node configuration

Is the helm chart stable/elasticsearch supported for version 6.8.4 or 7.4.2?
How can we leverage the user authentication available as a part of basic license by setting Xpack. enabled: true option? Currently using the default settings ( 3 master and 2 data nodes and 2 client), we are not able to get either pods in ready state. On disabling the xpack.enabled option, everything works as normal.
Are there any other settings apart from xpack.enabled: true, to allow the statefulsets to function as expected?
Is there a provision to allow the inbuilt user secrets created using Kubernetes secrets? How can we ensure that the values of these secrets are known to ES administrators?
In case I want to replace the existing chart with elastic’s helm chart (as mentioned in the pre deprecation notice), how can we make sure to deploy the data nodes? Currently I am not able to see a stateful set for data nodes or any configuration.

Hi @siddheshb, please refrain from opening multiple duplicate posts for your question. Can you please either delete/close this one or Elasticsearch on Kubernetes with helm ?

Hello @ikakavas

Please let me know if the this question needs to be answered as a part of Elastic group or Infrastructure group. Will close the irrelevant call

Thanks

As you can see in Metrics - Discuss the Elastic Stack, this is about :

Everything related to the Infrastructure app – Filebeat and Metricbeat, modules, Kibana dashboards, and using the Kibana Infrastructure app.

So I think your question is better suited here, I added the appropriate tags

Hi @siddheshb,
https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/elasticsearch isn't managed by Elastic.
You should address your questions about this chart to https://github.com/helm/charts/issues.

https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/tree/master/elasticsearch is the one supported by Elastic. It has just been tested and updated for 6.8.5 and 7.4.2 (elasticsearch#compatibility). 7.4.2 is the default version deployed by helm chart, you can deploy another version by setting imageTag value (example: helm install --name elasticsearch elastic/elasticsearch --set imageTag=6.8.5).

You can find an example of deploying Elasticsearch with authentication using Elastic helm chart in helm-charts/elasticsearch/examples/security.

With Elastic helm chart, each group of node is deployed separately in a different chart release.
You can find an example with migration from stable/elasticsearch chart instruction in helm-charts/elasticsearch/examples/migration.
