Security features in Elastic still require paid subscription. The link you pasted even says that. You can use the xpack features for free on a trial basis but for production use you're required to buy a license.
- farisjarrah 7y agoThank you for the correction. I thought I heard rumblings about their X Pack being free, but I had probably just heard about the trial.
- blinkingled 7y agoYou can use the Amazon OpenDistro provided plugins on top of oss ES to enable security features.
- jturpin 7y agoThis is not true, you can use some xpack security features such as basic auth, client TLS and node-to-node TLS for free. We use basic auth (with Vault integration) at my company using just the basic license. https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions has details on the subscription levels.
- blinkingled 7y agoThanks, I did not know about basic license. Although if you wanted to use OSS license my point still stands. (Not sure what restrictions the basic license brings so for some the only option might be the OSS license.)
- jturpin 7y agoYou're right, and it is only recently that this stuff became free anyways, sometime last year. I think Amazon's OpenDistro stuff put some pressure on them. Even TLS was gated, which was the biggest offense in my opinion!
