## What it is
Official Helm charts for deploying the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, Filebeat, Metricbeat, APM Server) on Kubernetes. Elastic has handed maintenance to the community and archived the repository in favor of Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK).

## Use cases
- deploy elasticsearch on kubernetes with helm
- install kibana cluster via helm chart
- run logstash on kubernetes
- deploy elastic stack to k8s
- helm chart for filebeat and metricbeat
- configure elasticsearch cluster on kubernetes

## When to choose
- you need lightweight Helm-based deployment of official Elastic Docker images
- you are pinned to older Elastic Stack versions (7.x/8.x) and can maintain the charts yourself
- you want community-maintained charts instead of the ECK operator

## When to avoid
- you want ongoing official support - Elastic recommends ECK (Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes)
- you need automated cluster healing, rolling upgrades, and managed lifecycle
- you are starting a new deployment, since the repo is archived

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: abandoned
- function: deployment, container-orchestration, infrastructure-as-code
- domain: self-hosted
