How to Create Elasticsearch with Create Instance from One-Click Application in Customer Portal

Last updated on |

Introduction:

For users requiring a powerful and efficient solution for handling large volumes of data, such as Elasticsearch, deploying this Big Data technology quickly and reliably is essential. NovaCloud is an affordable, reliable, and highly secure cloud computing service designed to meet these needs by offering various deployment methods within the Customer Portal.

To significantly speed up the provisioning of specialized instances like Elasticsearch, the Customer Portal features the Create Instance from One-Click Application deployment option. This streamlined method allows users to deploy a Cloud Instance pre-configured with the required software. Specifically, deploying Elasticsearch involves choosing the Big Data category and selecting the desired Elasticsearch version during the instance creation process.

This guide provides a professional, step-by-step walkthrough detailing how to launch a Cloud Instance containing your desired Big Data platform (Elasticsearch) using the One-Click Application feature in the NovaCloud Customer Portal, ensuring you can rapidly establish a functional data search and analytics environment.

Prerequisites:

  • The user must have access to the Customer Portal.
  • The account balance must contain sufficient credit/points
  • The user must select an existing Public Key during the creation process. If you do not have any keys yet, you are required to generate or import one before proceeding.

Step-by-step Guide:

Step 1: Click NovaCloud

  • Locate and click on the NovaCloud section in the left-hand navigation menu to access cloud resources.

Step 2: Click Cloud Instances

  • Navigate to the management interface for your virtual machine resources.

Step 3: Click Launch Project

  • Initiate the process for deploying a new cloud resource.

Step 4: Click Create Instance from One-Click Application

  • Select the accelerated deployment method designed for provisioning instances pre-installed with your chosen application (database).

Step 5: Choose Category as Big Data and Select Elasticsearch

  • Ensure the Category is selected as Big Data.
  • Select the specific application, Elasticsearch
  • Choose the required version you wish to deploy

Step 6: Select a Plan

  • Choose the appropriate resource plan (CPU, RAM, data transfer limits) for your database instance.

Important Note ⚠️: You can optionally choose a RAM Optimised plan if your needs require higher performance characteristics, which is particularly suitable for data storage applications.

Step 7: Select Your Storage and Key in Volume Size

  • Define the volume size for your storage.

Important Note ⚠️: The volume size must be at least 10 GB and no more than 1000 GB in size.

Step 8: Select Project to Attach, Key in Name Instance and Click Continue

  • Associate the instance with an existing project (if desired) and provide a unique name for your instance.

Important Note ⚠️: The instance name can only contain letters, numbers, underscores and dashes, and must be between 1 and 60 characters long.

Step 9: Select Public Key

  • Select the necessary Public Key from the dropdown menu for secure access to your instance.

Step 10: Configure Port of Security Group and Security Group Rules

  • Define which ports should be opened in the security group for the Elasticsearch (e.g., specific TCP ports)
  • Apply predefined security rules (e.g., allowing SSH or HTTP/S traffic).

Step 11: Assign Security Groups, Select Network to Attach and Click Create

  • Apply specific existing security groups (if needed)
  • Select the network(s) to attach.

Important Note ⚠️: You can skip the assigned security group system and the system will auto assign a security group for you. Attaching a private network automatically assigns a private IP to ensure secure, private, and performant communication, and network transfers between private IP addresses are not metered.

Step 13: Scroll and Click Create

  • A confirmation pop-up will appear. Review the specifications, scroll to the bottom, and click Create to launch the instance.

Step 14: Click Instance

  • Click the “Instances” button in the confirmation pop-up to navigate to the list of Cloud Instances.

Step 15: Success

  • Your request to launch the instance has been queued, and the provisioning process is underway (status “Creating” or “Active”).

Conclusion:

By successfully completing the outlined steps, you have effectively leveraged the streamlined One-Click Application feature to deploy a powerful Big Data solution, Elasticsearch, within the NovaCloud Customer Portal. This process ensured the efficient provisioning of your Elasticsearch instance by selecting the appropriate category (Big Data) and version during setup.

Upon confirming the cloud instance creation by clicking “Create”, your request was queued for provisioning, and its status (“Creating” or “Active”) can be monitored by clicking “Instance” and viewing the Cloud Instances page.
