We've had a difficult time trying to keep Elasticsearch working correctly on our EC2 instance. It takes a lot of work to get it configured right, especially if things break.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using to host Elasticsearch, and why?

Right now we are using Elastic's hosted service. At my prior job our cluster was self-hosted on AWS. I could see us possibly going that route again so we have more control over our cluster.

If you are going to self-host I highly recommend going through an Elasticsearch training course beforehand. That will layout a lot of gotchas and can be super helpful to get you up and running.

That's good advice, thanks.
