Preparing a deployment for production

To make sure you’re all set for production, consider the following actions:

Plan for your expected workloads and consider how many availability zones you’ll need.
Create a deployment on the region you need and with a hardware profile that matches your use case.
Change your configuration by turning on autoscaling, adding high availability, or adjusting components of the Elastic Stack.
Add extensions and plugins to use Elastic supported extensions or add your own custom dictionaries and scripts.
Edit settings and defaults to fine tune the performance of specific features.
Manage your deployment as a whole to restart, upgrade, stop routing, or delete.
Set up monitoring to learn how to configure your deployments for observability, which includes metric and log collection, troubleshooting views, and cluster alerts to automate performance monitoring.
