### Elasticsearch Version

8.17.0

### Installed Plugins

kibana, istio

### Java Version

_bundled_

### OS Version

Darwin GGN-MAC-10089 24.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.2.0: Fri Dec 6 18:41:43 PST 2024; root:xnu-11215.61.5~2/RELEASE\_X86\_64 x86\_64

### Problem Description

I am using my existing manifests file (mentioned below) to deploy `elasticsearch` (along with `kibana`) new version `8.17.0` into my local minikube instance (which has `istio v1.24.2` deployed in it too). These manifests used to work perfectly with versions `7.12.1` of both `elasticsearch` and `kibana`.

When the new docker image is used,`kibana` is up and running just fine (with response `200` for the command `curl https://kibana.minikube.me -kLs -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n"`).

But when I run the commad `curl https://elasticsearch.minikube.me -sk`, `elasticsearch` just responds with the following error:

```auto
upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. retried and the latest reset reason: remote connection failure, transport failure reason: delayed connect error: Connection refused

```

_(Earlier, with `v 7.12.1`, a proper JSON response containing the tagline 'You know, for sure' was being sent)_

Here are the manifests that I am using (nothing else has changed apart from the image for `elasticsearch`):
