Technical requirements

This chapter dives into the setup and configuration process for Elastic Agent and Fleet Server for continuously onboarding and managing data sources in Elastic Stack. The following requirements should be considered if you wish to follow along with some of the examples in this chapter, depending on your preference.

If you prefer setting up a standalone Elastic Stack deployment with Fleet Server and Elastic Agent, you will require access to a cloud or virtualization platform to provision at least two virtual machines. The first machine will be used to deploy Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Fleet. The second machine will be used to deploy a web server running Nginx and Elastic Agent to collect data.

Alternatively, you can use Elastic Cloud to provision and orchestrate an Elastic Stack deployment with Fleet enabled. You will still require a virtual machine to deploy the web server and an instance of Elastic Agent to configure data collection.
