FYI we’ve renamed ELK to the Elastic Stack, otherwise Beats feels left out
I'd use snapshots to S3 instead of volume level ones, there is no way to quiesce Elasticsearch and it's unlikely to play nicely with your proposed model.
Thanks Mark, we will be using EBS attached to the AWS EC2 as the primary storage for the instances, and S3 will be used for backup storage for snapshots.
High availability is needed for two main reasons:
Doing rehydrations as part of AWS strategy every 30 days, The DR stack should be during that time.
In case on region fails, we need a dr site.
Obviously in one region the instances and EBS volumes will be in different availability zones.
