This is Part 2 in the three-part series on Elasticsearch (ES) cross-cluster operations. This ES cluster will be implemented in Docker. Like the West Cluster, this configuration yields a single ES node and one Kibana node.
Docker-compose
For the most part, I used the reference docker-compose. I added a bind mount such that I could add the West Cluster’s transport CA to the trusted CAs for the East Cluster.
Index
Below a minimal index is built via the REST API. This index is used in a demonstration of cross-cluster search in the next post.
