What's new in ECK 3.5
Elastic released version 3.5 of the Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) operator to improve flexibility, security, and maintainability.
Why it matters
Platform teams can now scale environments and conduct maintenance without restarting operators or triggering rolling restarts of Elasticsearch clusters.
The details
- All stack components connecting to Elasticsearch now receive automatic secure client certificates.
- A new top-level resources field simplifies CPU and memory configuration in YAML.
- The pause orchestration annotation temporarily stops automatic configuration updates during maintenance.
