Hi,  
Anyone tried creating Elasticsearch cluster with docker image in kubernetes and assigned private IP addresses to nodes (pods)? If yes, can we also have multiple pods in same node and each pod having a distinct private IP address? Wanted to know if u can share reference/link?  
Thanks  
Imran

The networking is quite independent of elastic search, iiuc.

Yes, nodes can have private IPs. You can use a network overlay like weave, flannel, etc. to achieve it easily.

Thank you so much! This is good information. Can we have static IP addresses or will it be dynamic?

On the nodes? It really depends on your setup, I guess.
