<h1 id="what-are-digitalocean-blueprints">What are DigitalOcean Blueprints?</h1>
<p>DigitalOcean Blueprints are pre-configured infrastructure stacks with ready-to-use applications and they’re deployed with only a few clicks. With DigitalOcean Blueprints you’ll be able to skip complicated deployment configurations and infrastructure setups. You’ll be able to deploy easily and begin using your applications right away!</p>
<p>DigitalOcean Blueprints are designed to be the starting point for your production ready infrastructure. They aim to make deployment as seamless as possible so you can access the value of the application quickly. Each Blueprint has its own infrastructure configuration, cost, and software deployments. Please refer to the documentation for more details on each of these components.</p>
<h1 id="what-is-this-blueprint">What is this Blueprint?</h1>
<p>The ELK Blueprint will deploy 3 Droplets with the following components: ElasticSearch, Kibana, and LogStash. Each Droplet deployed contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 vCPUs</li>
<li>8GB Memory</li>
<li>160GB SSD Disk</li>
<li>5TB of transfer included.</li>
</ul>
<p>The approximate cost of this deployment is $144 monthly.</p>
<p>ElasticSearch and Kibana are configured out-of-box and LogStash is ready-to-use.</p>

<h3 id="install-terraform">Install Terraform</h3>
<p>Head to the <a href="https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/downloads" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Terraform install page</a> and follow the instructions for your platform.<br/></p>
<p>You can validate your local Terraform installation by running:</p>
<pre><code>$ terraform -v
Terraform v1.5.7
...</code></pre>
<h3 id="create-a-digitalocean-api-token">Create a DigitalOcean API token</h3>
<p>Head to the <a href="https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Applications &amp; API</a> page and create a new personal access token (PAT) by clicking the Generate New Token button. Make sure to check the Write scope for the token, as Terraform needs it to create new resources. After creating the token, make sure to save it as it disappears forever if you close the page. If you lost the token, delete it and create a new one.</p>
<h3 id="set-up-a-blueprint-and-variables">Set up a blueprint and variables</h3>
<p>Clone this repository to the machine where Terraform is installed:</p>
<pre><code>$ git clone https://github.com/digitalocean/marketplace-blueprints.git</code></pre>
<p>Head to the blueprint you are interested in, for this example we will use ELK:</p>
<pre><code>$ cd blueprints/elk/</code></pre>
<p>Edit <code>variables.tf</code> file and specify your API token like this:</p>
<pre><code>variable “do_token” {
  default = “dop_v1_your_beautiful_token_here”
}</code></pre>
<p>We are almost there, now initialize the Terraform project by running:</p>
<pre><code>$ terraform init</code></pre>
<p>Finally, after the project is initialized, run the Terraform apply to spin the blueprint:</p>
<pre><code>$ terraform apply</code></pre>
<p>It can take a few minutes to spin the droplets and some blueprints require extra time after the creation to finish the configuration.</p>
