From containers to Kubernetes operators

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

A presentation traces Elastic’s deployment strategy evolution from Docker images through Docker Compose for local demos, to Helm charts for production, and finally Kubernetes Operators for full lifecycle management (updates, scaling, etc.). It covers concrete technical challenges encountered when building these artifacts and argues that a combination of Helm charts and Operators is the current best practice for deploying Elastic Stack components (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, Logstash).
