With the 5.X release of the Elastic Stack comes official support for the Docker container platform. The Elastic Docker team will discuss running the Elastic Stack in container environments using the official images they maintain and publish. Dimitrios and Toby will cover configuration techniques for the images and share tips on performance optimization, show how Elasticsearch's distributed nature aligns with container orchestration, and discuss the quality automation that ensures the Elastic Stack is always Docker-ready, whether on a laptop or across a fleet.
