Configuring Elastic Stack components with Terraform
In this recipe, we will explore the usage of Terraform with Elastic Stack components, particularly on Elastic Cloud. Terraform, an open source infrastructure as code (IaC) software tool created by HashiCorp, enables users to define and provision a cloud or even on-premises infrastructure using a high-level declarative configuration language. By leveraging Terraform, we can automate the deployment and management of Elastic Stack components.
We will guide you through setting up Terraform to work effectively with Elastic Cloud by using the Elastic Cloud Terraform Provider, and you’ll learn how to define IaC, allowing for the automated provisioning of Elastic Stack resources and how to manage their lifecycle effectively.
Getting ready
Be sure to meet the following requirements:
- You will need Terraform installed on your machine; if you don’t, we’ll advise you to follow the steps outlined in the Terraform...
