I once set up an Elasticsearch cluster in Kubernetes. My conclusion was that it was totally redundant because in the end I made a few super-nodes that each run one super-pod (which is basically just one node from the elasticsearch cluster) I was confusing to think about the nodes of the cluster. is it a kubernetes-node? or an elasticsearch-node? after I was done, I felt terrible, but it was already working so I had to shrug it off. It is also kind of funny to think that this is all running in virtual machine which provides one kubernetes-node with runs a docker container which runs one elasticsearch-node using the Java Virtual Machine.
