Creating a cluster is a foundational step when deploying services in Elestio. Clusters provide isolated environments where you can run containerized workloads, databases, and applications. Elestio’s web dashboard helps the process, allowing you to configure co...

Node management plays a critical role in operating reliable and scalable infrastructure on Elestio. Whether you’re deploying stateless applications or stateful services like databases, managing the underlying compute units nodes is essential for maintaining st...

As your application usage grows or your infrastructure requirements change, scaling your cluster becomes essential. In Elestio, you can scale horizontally by adding new nodes to an existing cluster. This operation allows you to expand your compute capacity, im...

Clusters can be designed for high availability or role-based workloads, where certain nodes may take on leadership or coordination responsibilities. In these scenarios, promoting a node is a key administrative task. It allows you to change the role of a node. ...

Over time, infrastructure needs change. You may scale down a cluster after peak load, decommission outdated resources, or remove a node that is no longer needed for cost, isolation, or maintenance reasons. Removing a node from a cluster is a safe and structure...

Reliable backups are essential for data resilience, recovery, and business continuity. Elestio provides built-in support for managing backups across all supported services, ensuring that your data is protected against accidental loss, corruption, or infrastruc...

Securing access to services is a fundamental part of managing cloud infrastructure. One of the most effective ways to reduce unauthorized access is by restricting connectivity to a defined set of IP addresses. Elestio supports IP-based access control through i...

In distributed systems, consistency and synchronization between nodes are critical to ensure that services behave reliably and that data remains accurate across the cluster. Elestio provides built-in mechanisms to detect and resolve inconsistencies across node...

When a cluster is no longer needed—whether it was created for testing, staging, or an obsolete workload—deleting it helps free up resources and maintain a clean infrastructure footprint. Elestio provides a straightforward and secure way to delete entire cluste...

Elestio enables seamless migration of Keycloak realms by supporting realm exports and imports. This capability is vital for backing up configurations, replicating environments, or transitioning between staging and production systems. The process ensures consis...

Migrating to Keycloak from other IAM platforms such as Auth0, Okta, Firebase Auth, or custom-built identity solutions requires careful preparation, structured data transformation, and secure reconfiguration of users, applications, and federation protocols. Thi...

In scenarios where high availability, regional redundancy, or environment separation (e.g., staging to production) is required, cloning an entire Keycloak realm to a new cluster or region becomes essential. This process involves exporting the realm’s configura...
