Usage
Before using the elastic-cloud plugin you must meet its prerequisites.
setup
Elastic will charge you for your use of Elastic Cloud after a 14-day free trial (more info).
When running microbs setup [-o], the
elastic-cloud plugin creates an Elastic Cloud deployment using the
Elastic Cloud API. Then it deploys filebeat, metricbeat, and heartbeat services to the Kubernetes cluster. These agents autodiscover logs
and metrics from the Kubernetes nodes and pods and ships that data to the
Elastic Cloud deployment.
rollout
The elastic-cloud plugin is unaffected by microbs rollout.
destroy
When running microbs destroy [-o], the
elastic-cloud plugin destroys your Elastic Cloud deployment using the
Elastic Cloud API.
It also removes the services that were deployed to Kubernetes
during setup.
