Getting started with AWS
editThe plugin provides a hosts provider for zen discovery named ec2. This hosts provider
finds other Elasticsearch instances in EC2 through AWS metadata. Authentication is done using
IAM Role
credentials by default. The only necessary configuration change to enable the plugin
is setting the unicast host provider for zen discovery:
discovery.zen.hosts_provider: ec2
