Hi

I have successfully deployed a HOT-WARM environment using one ECK yaml config file.  
Lets say i decided to add COLD tier, is it possible to have a separate yaml config that joins the existing ECK cluster?

What is the best method in doing this? kubectl replace? or kubectl delete & re-apply?

Any help is appreciated. thank you!

Yes, at the moment you should use a single manifest to declare Elasticsearch resource. but you can use YAML anchors to remove some duplication if certain parts appear more than once.

or you can play with [Declarative Management of Kubernetes Objects Using Kustomize | Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-kubernetes-objects/kustomization/) which let you assemble final yaml file from the set of small ones
