The Evolution of DevOps - The Golden Age

Let’s wind the clock back a couple of decades to the late 90s and early 2000s, a time when most organisations had a single gatekeeper: the system or IT administrator. If engineering teams needed to run their applications on production servers, they had to ask for help, creating silos that led to poor experiences on both sides: miscommunications, a decrease in engineering velocity, and slower time-to-market.

Index aliasing is a powerful feature in Elasticsearch that gives us the ability to control the indices. One could create as many indices as possible and use an alias to point to the right index or one can point the index alias to all indices, depending on your application needs.

Scenarios

Imagine if you had the following scenarios when working with Elasticsearch for your application needs:
