Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Initial Deployment Launch the Elasticsearch Enterprise AMI from the AWS Marketplace using your preferred instance type. We recommend t3.large for development and r5.large for production workloads. The system automatically performs initial configuration upon first boot and is ready for use within seconds of instance initialization.
Accessing Your Cluster Connect to your instance via SSH using your key pair. Verify the installation by running the health check command: curl -X GET http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health . Your Elasticsearch cluster is immediately available at http://localhost:9200 locally. For external access, configure security groups to allow traffic on port 9200 and access using your instances public IP address.
Basic Configuration Modify the Elasticsearch configuration file located at /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml for custom settings. Key parameters to adjust include cluster.name for naming your cluster and network.host for network binding configuration. For production deployments, enable security by setting xpack.security.enabled to true.
Security Setup After enabling security features, set user passwords by running the command: /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords auto. This generates automatic passwords for built-in users. Use the interactive option for manual password configuration. Ensure your AWS security groups restrict access to trusted IP ranges only.
Data Management Create your first index using the command: curl -X PUT localhost:9200/my-first-index. Insert documents via the REST API and query using standard Elasticsearch DSL. Configure automated snapshots to Amazon S3 for data protection using the built-in snapshot functionality.
Monitoring and Maintenance Access pre-configured monitoring dashboards through the built-in monitoring features. Set up CloudWatch alarms for critical metrics including cluster status, disk space, and JVM memory usage. Regular maintenance tasks including software updates and security patches are automatically handled by the system.
Scaling Your Deployment For horizontal scaling, launch additional instances using the same AMI and configure them to join your existing cluster by setting the appropriate discovery settings in the elasticsearch.yml file. For vertical scaling, upgrade your instance type through the AWS EC2 console.
Backup and Recovery Enable automated snapshots by configuring repository settings. Create snapshot policies for regular backups to S3. In case of data recovery, use the snapshot restore API to recover indices or complete clusters from your backup repository.
Troubleshooting Check cluster health status using the cluster health API endpoint. Review logs located in /var/log/elasticsearch for error diagnostics. Common issues include memory allocation errors, which can be adjusted via JVM settings in /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options, and disk space warnings, which should be monitored via CloudWatch.
Support Resources Refer to the documentation included in /usr/share/elasticsearch/docs for detailed configuration guides. For additional assistance, visit the Elasticsearch official documentation or contact support through the AWS Marketplace support channel.
