Elasticsearch and Kibana on Ubuntu 22.04 - Search and Analytics Engine

This Elasticsearch image is provided & maintained by Cloud Infrastructure Services. Elasticsearch is a self hosted, powerful, open-source search and analytics engine designed for real-time data retrieval, monitoring, and analysis. Built on the Apache Lucene library, Elasticsearch offers full-text search capabilities and is widely used for log and event data, enabling quick insights across structured and unstructured data. Ideal solution for handling large data sets in distributed environments.

Kibana is the visualization tool for Elasticsearch, enabling users to interact with data through dashboards, charts, and real-time visualizations. Together, they form an essential data stack that allows for efficient log monitoring, data search, and analytics, making it ideal for organizations looking to derive insights from large datasets.
