Hi, I have a "little" script for indexing some files and for search data. Now my boss wants put that on a virtual machine on the cloud. I've never works with client/server (i'm still student in informatics), if i do : curl -XGET IPmachine/index/type/.... Works it ? Is there some code to include, some manipulation ? Thanks, Jerome ---

Running ES in VM is no different than physical server (from accessing the API) point of view. Since most usage of ES is through its REST API, and obviously your VM will have an IP address, there is really no problem using ES inside VM. --Andrew On May 10, 3:47 am, Jérome [pivertjer...@gmail.com](mailto:pivertjer...@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > I have a "little" script for indexing some files and for search data. > Now my boss wants put that on a virtual machine on the cloud. > > I've never works with client/server (i'm still student in > informatics), if i do : > > curl -XGET IPmachine/index/type/.... > > Works it ? > > Is there some code to include, some manipulation ? > > Thanks, > > Jerome ---
