Try It Out
In this example we will deploy the ECK operator on a Kubernetes cluster using the Minimus ECK Operator Helm chart. The operator will provide Kubernetes-native management of Elasticsearch, Kibana, and other Elastic Stack components.
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Create Namespace
Create a namespace:
kubectl create ns eck-operator
Step 3: Deploy the Helm Chart
Deploy the Minimus Helm chart:
helm install my-eck-operator oci://helm.mini.dev/eck-operator \
--version 3.2.0 \
-n eck-operator \
--wait
If you want to override the chart's defaults, go to the Values tab, save a copy locally with your changes. Deploy the chart with your overrides using -f values.yaml:
helm install my-eck-operator oci://helm.mini.dev/eck-operator \
--version 3.2.0 \
-f values.yaml \
-n eck-operator \
--wait
Step 4: Verify ECK Operator is Running
Confirm the chart deployed successfully and the ECK operator started:
kubectl get pods -n eck-operator
You should see output similar to:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
elastic-operator-0 1/1 Running 0 2m
Step 5: Test Elasticsearch Deployment
Create a minimal Elasticsearch cluster to verify the operator is working:
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
name: quickstart
namespace: eck-operator
spec:
version: 8.17.0
nodeSets:
- name: default
count: 1
config:
node.store.allow_mmap: false
EOF
Wait for the Elasticsearch cluster to become ready:
kubectl get elasticsearch -n eck-operator
You should see output similar to:
NAME HEALTH NODES VERSION PHASE AGE
quickstart green 1 8.17.0 Ready 3m
Step 6: Clean Up
Uninstall the chart and delete the namespace to remove all resources:
kubectl delete elasticsearch quickstart -n eck-operator
helm uninstall my-eck-operator -n eck-operator
kubectl delete namespace eck-operator
