Automating the installation

Configuration management tools such as Ansible and Puppet can be used to automate the installation and configuration of Elasticsearch clusters and other components. Using automation for installation comes with the following benefits:

Quick deployment times, especially for large clusters.
Reduces the risk of the misconfiguration of nodes.
Automation configuration can be tracked in source control and integrated as part of your CI/CD processes.
Automation can be run at regular intervals in an idempotent manner to revert any manual configuration changes to the environment.
Components can be easily replicated in other environments (such as dev/staging before rolling out to production).
Can be used as part of a disaster recovery strategy to quickly re-create the cluster and components in an alternate cloud region or data center in the event of a disaster.

You can use the tool and framework of your choice to automate the installation...
