Operator support about helm-charts

[jethr0null]

Thanks for your question. We are very focused on enabling and supporting the deployment of our products to Kubernetes. The logical initial entry point for us and our users is Helm charts due to their simplicity and ease of use and maintenance. We are also working on a Kubernetes operator and while we don't have a set delivery date, we're roughly targeting Q3 of this year.

@Crazybus do you have any pointers where community could follow-up on news related to operator for ES?

Hi Pavol!

If/when it gets released there should be an announcement on https://www.elastic.co/blog. I can also try to remember to post an update here if/when it is released...but no promises :P

I also suspect that we will be adding a reference to it in the helm-charts repo for those who would prefer to use an operator instead of a helm chart managing a statefulset.

The alpha version of the operator has been released. https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-elastic-cloud-on-kubernetes-the-elasticsearch-operator-and-beyond
