Businesses are increasing their pace of innovation and deploying applications faster and at a larger scale. Containers provide faster iteration and problem-solving across many environments. Many businesses are adopting containers in software development-focused departments to boost productivity and speed to value.
Organizations are shifting to public cloud security and log analytics to ensure continuous operations with minimal downtime, and SLAs despite the massive volume of data created every day. As more businesses migrate to the cloud, the demand for public cloud security solutions and log analytics platforms is growing significantly.
A significant portion of this data consists of logs such as web server, http, application logs, and so on. Organizations can capitalize on numerous business opportunities and threats by doing rigorous and detailed log analysis.
Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) provides a comprehensive log analysis which enables you to find, analyze, and display data from numerous machines and spot security threats. The Dell PowerFlex family provides a foundation that combines compute and high-performance storage resources in a managed, unified fabric. With consistent high performance, scalability, simplicity, and flexibility, Dell PowerFlex meets the ECK needs.
This whitepaper describes the deployment of Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) on Dell PowerFlex platform and PowerFlex container storage interface (CSI) for persistent storage. This paper also describes the design considerations to achieve optimal performance.
