Summary
In this chapter, we gained a high-level overview of the Elastic Stack and its core components. We understood the role each component plays and how they can be used together to solve complex data-related problems. We also looked at what each of these components is inherently good at doing, and where they might not best serve the problem at hand. Finally, we looked at the out-of-the-box solutions in the areas of Enterprise Search, Security, and Observability that are offered by the stack.
In the next chapter, we will look at a range of options for installing and running components of the Elastic Stack to help you get started with your use cases.
