How to deploy AWS elasticsearch using serverless.yml

Question

I need to use AWS elasticsearch service but also want to automate it. We have serverless configuration. How can we create an AWS elasticsearch service using serverless.yml?

Answer 1

You can add CloudFormation resources to the "resources" section. For ElasticSearch this would look something like this.

service: aws-nodejs
provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10
functions:
  hello:
    handler: handler.hello
    environment:
      elasticURL:
        Fn::GetAtt: [ ElasticSearchInstance , DomainEndpoint ]

resources:
  Resources:
    ElasticSearchInstance:
      Type: AWS::Elasticsearch::Domain
      Properties:
        EBSOptions:
          EBSEnabled: true
          VolumeType: gp2
          VolumeSize: 10
        ElasticsearchClusterConfig:
          InstanceType: t2.small.elasticsearch
          InstanceCount: 1
          DedicatedMasterEnabled: false
          ZoneAwarenessEnabled: false
        ElasticsearchVersion: 5.3
