Zero to Hero: Deploy Elastic Stack on Kubernetes with ECK (TLS)

Watch Part 2: https://youtu.be/zlTssF1CYQM

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of deploying the EFK stack (Elasticsearch, Fluent Bit, Kibana) on Kubernetes using Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK). ECK simplifies the deployment and management of Elasticsearch and Kibana by leveraging Kubernetes operators.

You’ll learn how to:

Install and configure the ECK operator to manage Elasticsearch and Kibana on your Kubernetes cluster.
Deploy an Elasticsearch cluster with a single node configuration.
Set up Kibana for data visualization and analysis.
Configure Fluent Bit for data ingestion, and securely forward logs to Elasticsearch.
Access Kibana UI to visualize logs and run queries on your Elasticsearch data.

This guide covers everything you need to get started with EFK on Kubernetes, from setup to querying your Elasticsearch cluster. Whether you’re new to Kubernetes or Elasticsearch, this tutorial provides clear, step-by-step instructions for setting up your own log monitoring stack.

🔧 Prerequisites:

Kubernetes cluster
Helm and kubectl installed
Basic knowledge of Kubernetes
