I am trying to run a 2 node Elasticsearch cluster on different ec2 instances present in different regions. I using the following commands:- 1. Command to run data node:- `sudo docker run -it --pull=always --privileged --net elastic -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e discovery.type=zen -e cluster.name=my-elasticsearch-cluster -e node.name=data -e discovery.seed_hosts=54.183.230.27 -e cluster.initial_master_nodes=master -e ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1g -Xmx1g" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.12.0` 2. Command to run master node:- `sudo docker run -it --pull=always --privileged --net elastic -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e discovery.type=zen -e cluster.name=my-elasticsearch-cluster -e node.name=master -e discovery.seed_hosts=54.183.230.27 -e cluster.initial_master_nodes=master -e ES_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1g -Xmx1g" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.12.0` But the above two are not forming a cluster. Please help me and let me know what am I doing wrong here. ---
