BOSH release to run elasticsearch

Background

What is elasticsearch?

Elasticsearch is a highly scalable open-source full-text search and analytics engine. It allows you to store, search, and analyze big volumes of data quickly and in near real time. It is generally used as the underlying engine/technology that powers applications that have complex search features and requirements.

Usage

To use this bosh release, first upload it to your bosh:

bosh upload release https://github.com/hybris/elasticsearch-boshrelease

For bosh-lite, you can quickly create a deployment manifest & deploy a cluster:

templates/make_manifest warden
bosh -n deploy

For AWS EC2, create a single VM:

templates/make_manifest aws-ec2
bosh -n deploy

Override security groups

For AWS & Openstack, the default deployment assumes there is a default security group. If you wish to use a different security group(s) then you can pass in additional configuration when running make_manifest above.

Create a file my-networking.yml:

---
networks:
  - name: elasticsearch1
    type: dynamic
    cloud_properties:
      security_groups:
        - elasticsearch

Where - elasticsearch means you wish to use an existing security group called elasticsearch.

You now suffix this file path to the make_manifest command:

templates/make_manifest openstack-nova my-networking.yml
bosh -n deploy
