## What it is
A set of Kubernetes manifests and Helm support for deploying a production-grade Elasticsearch cluster with separated master, data, and ingest node roles. The project is explicitly no longer maintained as of November 2018.

## Use cases
- deploy elasticsearch on kubernetes
- set up a production elasticsearch cluster with dedicated master and data nodes
- run elasticsearch as a statefulset with persistent storage
- install elasticsearch via helm on a k8s cluster
- configure pod anti-affinity for elasticsearch availability

## When to choose
- you need a reference example of role-separated Elasticsearch deployment on Kubernetes and accept unmaintained manifests
- you are running an old Kubernetes/Elasticsearch stack matching the versions this was designed for

## When to avoid
- you need current, supported Elasticsearch on Kubernetes - use the official ECK operator or Elastic's Helm charts
- you run modern Kubernetes versions, since these manifests target Kubernetes 1.11 and privileged init containers

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