This commit adds a warning message to the README to notify users that the role will be deprecated.

jsermer commented 2 years ago

why is this ansible role being abandoned for 8.x+?

nkammah commented 2 years ago

@jsermer We’ve discussed it internally and have decided to officially stop development of the ansible-elasticsearch and ansible-beats module once 8.X is released.

Hummm , and now how can we easily keep our infrastructure up to date?

nkammah commented 2 years ago

I would recommend looking at other community maintained roles or explore migrating to our cloud managed offering.

wixaw commented 2 years ago

ok thanks

jsermer commented 2 years ago

so do you also plan on dropping support for puppet and chef...they're all three linked in your docs:

nkammah commented 2 years ago

Our puppet modules have been handed over to Vox Pupuli (see https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-logstash/issues/403) , as for the Chef cookbooks, they are not actively maintained. I'll make sure the above doc page get updated appropriately.

What about mentioning the Terraform provider as an alternative in this readme, in order to promote the new way of provisioning ES stack?
