Security
editSecurityedit
All Elastic Stack resources deployed by the ECK operator are secured by default. The operator sets up basic authentication and TLS to encrypt network traffic to, from, and within your Elasticsearch cluster.
Authenticationedit
To access Elastic resources, the operator manages a default user named elastic
with the superuser
role. Its password is stored in a Secret
named <name>-elastic-user
.
> kubectl get secret hulk-es-elastic-user -o go-template='{{.data.elastic | base64decode }}' 42xyz42citsale42xyz42
Beware of copying this Secret as-is into a different namespace. Check Common Problems: Owner References for more information.
