Introduction to Elasticsearch Service

Elasticsearch can be installed on-premise, on Amazon EC2 or AWS Elasticsearch service. When you install Elasticsearch on-premise or on Amazon EC2, you have to be responsible for installing, provision infrastructure and managing the cluster. But with AWS Elasticsearch amazon takes care of everything. It is a fully managed service.

Along with Elasticsearch, AWS provides Kibana. It is deployed automatically with your Elasticsearch Domain as a fully managed service, automatically taking care of all the heavy lifting to manage the cluster.

AWS provides two types of endpoints in ES setups. 1 — Internet endpoint; 2 — VPC endpoint. You can also have a custom endpoint if you want to configure with a domain you have. We’ll discuss more features and configurations while provisioning an ES Domain.

In this article, we’ll provision an internet endpoint ES Domain.
