Hello Everyone, I plan to move the Elasticsearch environment to a virtual machine because the bare metal server that I currently use is always full quickly, so my team decided to migrate to a virtual machine that is easy to scale up when the storage is full, but at the moment I am having trouble finding detailed specifications for installation in a virtual machine, maybe here there is already experience installing Elasticsearch in a virtual machine, can you share your experience, thanks before

Hello and welcome,

There is no difference in installing Elasticsearch directly on a bare metal or on a VM, the steps are the same.

What are the specs of yoru bare metal server? You can just replicate it on a VM with the same specs.
