Curator lambda for AWS ElasticSearch

Inspired by the post from elastic

Deploys a lambda function to run curator on a scheduled basis.

Curator config

Create a yaml configuration file for your ElasticSearch domains and upload it to s3.

---
- name: example logging cluster
  endpoint: search-domain-logstash-vnojmawsc.us-west-1.es.amazonaws.com
  indices:
    - prefix: logstash-
      days: 365

- name: example metrics cluster
  endpoint: search-domain-metrics-vnojmawsc.us-west-1.es.amazonaws.com
  indices:
    - prefix: metricbeat-
      days: 14
    - prefix: packetbeat-
      days: 14

After you have uploaded the configuration file you can launch the stack

You can specify the CronSchedule either via a lambda cron expression or rate expression.

The lambda function uses Signature Version 4 Signing Process to authenticate against the ElasticSearch domains.

Tested and validated against ElasticSearch version 5.1

Enjoy!
