ECE

Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) provides a centralized platform that allows organizations to run Elasticsearch, Kibana, and other Elastic Stack components across multiple machines, whether in a private or public cloud, virtual machines, or your own premises.

This section provides step-by-step guidance on:

• Prepare the environment: Follow the hardware, software, and networking prerequisites before the installation.

• Install ECE: Identify the deployment scenario that best fits your needs, choose an installation method, and complete the setup.

  • Install ECE on a public cloud
  • Install ECE on your own premises
  • Alternative: install ECE with Ansible

• Air-gapped installations: Review the different options for air-gapped environments.

  • With your private Docker registry
  • Without any Docker registry

• Configure ECE: Explore the most common tasks to configure your ECE platform.

  • System deployments configuration
  • Configure deployment templates
  • Configure endpoint URLs
  • Manage Elastic Stack versions

After deploying the ECE platform, you may need to configure custom proxy certificates, manage snapshot repositories, or perform maintenance operations, among other tasks. Refer to the following sections for more details:

• Secure your ECE installation
  *Secure your cluster or deployment
• Users and roles
• Manage snapshot repositories
• Manage licenses
• ECE platform maintenance operations

To start orchestrating your Elasticsearch clusters, refer to Working with deployments.

The following tasks are only needed on certain circumstances:

• Migrate ECE to Podman hosts
• Migrate ECE on Podman hosts to SELinux enforce
• Change allocator disconnect timeout
