Elastic Cross-Cluster Ops - East Cluster Build

Summary

This is Part 2 in the three-part series on Elasticsearch (ES) cross-cluster operations.  This ES cluster will be implemented in Docker.  Like the West Cluster, this configuration yields a single ES node and one Kibana node. 

Architecture



Configuration

Docker-compose

For the most part, I used the reference docker-compose.  I added a bind mount such that I could add the West Cluster's transport CA to the trusted CAs for the East Cluster.


Index

Below a minimal index is built via the REST API.  This index is used in a demonstration of cross-cluster search in the next post.
