Mistake CF Template

As writing in other review, this product do not work properly.

First: you are forced to create an account (thanks, now I've 3 Elastic Cloud account, and you can't delete it)

Second: CloudFormation Launch Template do not work properly (multiple reason)

I spent 1 hour to try debugging yaml Launch Template (first time for me) and I waste my time.

As a result, I will buy a EC2 instance and run myself ES on docker...

Waste of time & money - don't try this. Read other comments & find another way to run ES

PS: 1 star because I couldn't put 0 star
