Hi Federico,
Thus far I’ve had instances on single hardware machines, of various ages, and they have all worked with a small load. I haven’t tried a scaled out installation yet but my suspicion at the outset is that a (single) VM may work for a test instance but perhaps not one in production.
Cheers,
David

I guess it will depend on the scope of the ELK instance and the amount of injected logs, however it would be interesting to know about different sites experience. Thanks.
