Overview

This architecture supports creating and configuring an instance of Databases for Elasticsearch, with optional KMS encryption.

ℹ️ This Terraform-based automation is part of a broader suite of IBM-maintained Infrastructure as Code (IaC) assets, each following the naming pattern "Cloud automation for servicename" and focusing on single IBM Cloud service. These single-service deployable architectures can be used on their own to streamline and automate service deployments through an IaC approach, or assembled together into a broader automated IaC stack to automate the deployment of an end-to-end solution architecture.
