Elasticsearch Certified exam study resources

Here is a list of resources that I used to study for the Elasticsearch Certified Engineer exam. I share them with you in case you find them useful.

.es files

I used the VSCode extension Elasticsearch for VSCode that allows you to run queries and see the results directly in the editor. However, I personally recommend using Kibana Devtools for studying and using .es files to save your queries.

Folders

In each folder, you can find descriptions of the resources that I used to study for the exam.

• George-Bridgeman-labs
• Guido-Lena-Cota-exercises
• other-exercises
• docker-environments

Others relevant resources:

• Elasticsearch Para Todos: This is a course in Spanish by Gustavo Llermaly. It's highly recommended for starters in Elasticsearch. The course covers the basics of Elasticsearch and little advances topics. Also includes bonus content like how to use Kibana and Logstash.
• Elasticsearch engineering exam notes by Simone Guardati: This is a helpful resource for study for the exam. In this blog post, Simone Guardati shares his notes and short explanation abut technical terms and concepts that are important for the exam. He also gives a simple explanation of API and how to use them.
