The best way to host ELK stack on Azure

Question

What's the best way to host ELK stack in Azure in terms of price/quality? Using Docker containers? Using their built-in ELK service? Using separate VM instance?

I don't have any experience in hosting ELK in Azure, so I don't know what's the best approach. Thank you in advance! :)

Answer 1

In terms of price, it doesn't matter if you choose the ELK service or the VMs. The Elastic template allows the choice of the VMs configurations for your scenarios. You have the option to choose different virtual machine sizes for different node roles within the cluster. And the price will depend on it.

In terms of quality, the Elastic template is published by the Elastic community itself and they are continually improving it.
