ELK Stack on Azure

Users are able to do this but it requires separate installation of Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Metricbeat For the example, a Ubuntu VM was used for testing and development purposes

Steps to Enable ELK Stack Compatibility: Open a Network Security Group that was created with the VM in Ubuntu and inbound rules which enable ssh (Secure Shell) communication i.e. communication between two or more computers. You can manage where the traffic is regulated through different ports on the workstation. You then essentially have to update the repository and install Elasticsearch.

As long as a corporation has the licensing for all three: Logstash, Kibana, Beats and Elasticsearch, it is as simple as running signing keys and downloading a package to connect to the repository:

Outlets that collect, store, process and analyze data in a production environment require more configurations than what Microsoft Azure has to offer and it is essentially a shell application that has holes that must be filled in

What is the benefit of running Elasticsearch on Azure Opposed to another Open-Source Software? Open-Source Integration with Elasticsearch does not have access to benefits with “software as a service benefits”
