Elasticsearch Cluster Monitoring

Elasticsearch is a scalable, full-text search and analytics engine based on Apache Lucene. It is Java-based and allows you to store, search, and analyze big volumes of data quickly in near real-time. It can search and index the document files in diverse formats. Lucene is the underlying technology that Elasticsearch uses for extremely fast data retrieval.

As flexible, scalable, and useful as Elasticsearch is, monitoring your cluster can help you ensure that the cluster is appropriately sized and handles all operations efficiently.

Elasticsearch Garbage Collector Frequent Execution Issue

Have you noticed an unexpected unallocation of Shards happening at a duration of 1 hour resulting in Cluster state switching from Green > Yellow > Red > Yellow > Green?. During this transition, ES becomes unreachable and the API calls start responding with non 200 code.

Cache Using Cloudflare Workers’ Cache API

As we all know that the caching is a process that everyone uses using different topologies like caching at application node, geographical caching, even some organizations set up a completely dedicated cluster of nodes only for caching.

In this blog, we will discuss setting up Geographical caching using Cloudflare’s Content delivery network and Cloudflare’s workers.

IP Whitelisting Using Istio Policy On Kubernetes Microservices

Recently, we explored Preserving the Source IP address on AWS Classic Loadbalancer and Istio’s envoy using the proxy protocol in our first Part. Continuing to the second part of this series, we will look at How can we apply IP whitelisting on the Kubernetes microservices!

Problem Statement:

There are some microservices behind an internet-facing loadbalancer that we want to have limited access to, based on source IP address. This will prevent our microservices from unauthorized access.

Preserve Source IP In AWS Classic Load-Balancer And Istio’s Envoy Using Proxy Protocol

Preserving Source IP address is an important factor in a live environment because the IP address is one of the things which enables you to do some advanced stuff like:

Security: Security is an important factor which we cannot ignore. With the Source IP you can white list the access to the applications which are behind the internet-facing load balancer.
