I have a Terraform created GKE. Then I use Yaml files to install ES (8.6.0) and Kibana. As part of my terraform IAAS I reserve 2 IPs, and 2 "google\_dns\_record\_set" (es\_dns and kb\_dns) which sit on our company shared VPC subnet. My thought is to have the dns, & static IPs, and load 2 internal load balancers (one for kibana and one for ES) with my static IPs called out as loadBalancerIPs. In my mind I should then be able to go to my dns address in my browser.
I'm not sure my logic is sound, would love input on where my missing piece to the puzzle is.
- Deployed K8s with terraform
- use Terraform to reserve 2 IPs (one for Kibana and one for ES)
- used terraform to create a google\_dns-record\_set in our company shared vpc
- used terrafrom to create a gcp service account that can access the k8s cluster
- generated credentials file
- Deployed es with the configuration below.
- deployed a loadbalancer for es with the config below.
- but nothing is showing up when I go to https:dns address or the ip; what am I missing
es config yaml:
