Walking through the github project for an air-gappable Elastic cluster in Docker Compose

Github Project:

https://github.com/Xzeryn/Elastic-Stack-Docker

Summary

Nathan Stacey, Scott Karter and Frank Gutierrez discuss their project of building a simplified and easy way to set up the Elastic Stack using Docker Compose. They explain the motivation behind creating this project, which is to provide a simple and accessible way for users to deploy Elastic for education, proof of concept, and air-gapped environments. They walk through the installation process and highlight the different profiles and components involved. They also discuss future plans, including adding support for Podman, exploring different cluster architectures, and incorporating Elastic's Rally for benchmarking.
