I have installed 3 nodes of elastic search from Azure marketplace and any node can act as master node. Now how do I connect to the cluster ?

urns out that by default, Azure marketplace copy of self managed ES, sets up only "Internal Load Balancer". I was able to get the cluster end point as soon as I configured "External Load Balancer". All set now.

If you would like to connect to Elasticsearch from the public internet, then you will need to [deploy an external load balancer as part of the Marketplace steps](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-deploy/current/azure-marketplace-getting-started.html#external-access-step) or [through the `loadBalancerType` parameter when using the ARM template directly](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-deploy/current/azure-arm-template-load-balancing.html#external-load-balancer).

It is **strongly recommended** that security is enabled so that authentication is in place (it is by default), and that [Transport Layer security is also configured](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-deploy/current/azure-marketplace-getting-started.html#certificates-step), so that communication with the cluster is encrypted.
