" summary

Deploys Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes operator and demonstrates Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes operator autoscaling for Elasticsearch clusters (alpha in v1.5). Uses Filebeat and Metricbeat to ingest logs and metrics into Elasticsearch and visualizes with Kibana dashboards. Configures an autoscaling policy: min 2 max 5 that prefers vertical volume expansion when storage class supports it, then adds nodes; a trial enterprise license enables the feature and the demo shows new pods appearing and data rebalances automatically.
