I am unsure if it is officially supported to host elastic on kubernetes like AKS. When i scale the replicas up or down, or roleout a restart for example (for extending volume sizes, the nodes fail to join back to the cluster) The error is that the elastic user can not authenticate. OR When i set the ELASTIC\_PASSWORD env the container are not comming up Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.FileSystemException: /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.keystore.tmp -\> /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.keystore: Device or resource busy I am using Version 7.8 I have set a generic secret in kubernetes which holds a initialized keystore (which i have copied from a container after using bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive) kubectl -n elk-infra create secret generic elasticsearch-keystore --from-file=./elasticsearch.keystore volumeMounts: - name: elasticsearch-keystore mountPath: /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.keystore subPath: elasticsearch.keystore volumes: - name: elasticsearch-keystore secret: secretName: elasticsearch-keystore ---
