ECK Operator📜

Overview📜

This repository contains the Big Bang package for the Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) operator. It wraps the upstream Elastic chart and adds Big Bang integration for Istio, network policies, monitoring, and Iron Bank images.

ECK-Operator📜

ECK is Elastic’s Kubernetes operator for managing Elastic Stack applications by way of Kubernetes custom resources. It can be used to deploy and manage Elasticsearch, Kibana, Elastic Agent, APM Server, Beats, Enterprise Search, and other supported Elastic workloads on Kubernetes.

How it works📜

When installed, ECK Operator adds the Elastic CRDs and deploys an operator pod that reconciles those resources. In Big Bang, this package is commonly paired with the elasticsearch-kibana package, but it can also support other ECK-managed Elastic workloads as needed.
