Course Description

New for 2019! Elasticsearch 7 is a powerful tool not only for powering search on big websites, but also for analyzing big data sets in a matter of milliseconds! It's an increasingly popular technology, and a valuable skill to have in today's job market. This comprehensive course covers it all, from installation to operations, with over 90 lectures including 8 hours of video.
We'll cover setting up search indices on an Elasticsearch 7 cluster (if you need Elasticsearch 5 or 6 - we have other courses on that), and querying that data in many different ways. Fuzzy searches, partial matches, search-as-you-type, pagination, sorting - you name it. And it's not just theory, every lesson has hands-on examples where you'll practice each skill using a virtual machine running Elasticsearch on your own PC.
We'll explore what's new in Elasticsearch 7 - including index lifecycle management, the deprecation of types and type mappings, and a hands-on activity with Elasticsearch SQL. We've also added much more depth on managing security with the Elastic Stack, and how backpressure works with Beats.
We cover, in depth, the often-overlooked problem of importing data into an Elasticsearch index. Whether it's via raw RESTful queries, scripts using Elasticsearch API's, or integration with other "big data" systems like Spark and Kafka - you'll see many ways to get Elasticsearch started from large, existing data sets at scale. We'll also stream data into Elasticsearch using Logstash and Filebeat - commonly referred to as the "ELK Stack" (Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana) or the "Elastic Stack".
Elasticsearch isn't just for search anymore - it has powerful aggregation capabilities for structured data. We'll bucket and analyze data using Elasticsearch, and visualize it using the Elastic Stack's web UI, Kibana.
You'll learn how to manage operations on your Elastic Stack, using X-Pack to monitor your cluster's health, and how to perform operational tasks like scaling up your cluster, and doing rolling restarts. We'll also spin up Elasticsearch clusters in the cloud using Amazon Elasticsearch Service and the Elastic Cloud.
Elasticsearch is positioning itself to be a much faster alternative to Hadoop, Spark, and Flink for many common data analysis requirements. It's an important tool to understand, and it's easy to use! Dive in with me and I'll show you what it's all about.Who this course is for:
  • Any technologist who wants to add Elasticsearch to their toolchest for searching and analyzing big data sets.

Lack of overviews and general explanation on the API to help people understanding elasticsearch. Too many details.

By Kees van der Burg

Excellent course. Very practical and informative.

By Glen Saldanha

The logstash CSV file wasn't explained in depth. What does grok mean?

By Kariato Davey

I'm not in DEVOPS, rather a data guy, so the ability to query and create indexes was what i needed. This course worked, it was practical and allowed me to pivot in ElasticSearch_DSL(not covered) after prototyping a few queries in CURL. Loved that the first thing the class did was to install ElasdticSearch so I could practice.

By Guilherme Londres

Great intro course! Provide's what you need to follow in the subject.

By Cody James Reed

Frank helped solidify the core foundation and principles that make up Elasticsearch and the "Elastic-Stack." This course satisfies any initial questions that you may have about Elasticsearch and its implementation. If you're interested in AWS and Elasticsearch, I'd also highly recommend Frank and Stephane Maarek's AWS Certified Big Data https://www.udemy.com/share/100Y5kBUoadllQQn4=/

Great course!! Learning to run Elastic in the cloud.

By 이주한

It was good lecture, but I have expected deeper explanation. It’s kind of superficial

By Rajarshi Roy

Fantastic.. Execution steps are clearly mentioned.

By Marcus Vinícius

This is not my first course from Frank Kane and what I can say is that he always deliver it! One more time a great course!

By J Scott Stanlick

The instructor is clearly knowledgeable, however, I think too much time is spent typing Curl and JSON statements. I believe using something like POSTman would have been a little less clumsy

By Kevin Burrowes

I get the curl shows the low-level hacker approach. But you should really be doing most of these commands in Kibana and not on the command line.
