I am running my kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS which runs kubernetes 1.10. I am following this guide to deploy elasticsearch in my Cluster elasticsearch Kubernetes
The first time I deployed it everything worked fine. Now, When I redeploy it gives me the following error.
ERROR: [2] bootstrap checks failed
[1]: max file descriptors [4096] for elasticsearch process is too low, increase to at least [65536]

I have seen a lot of posts talking about increasing the value but I am not sure how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
Update default-ulimit parameter in the file '/etc/docker/daemon.json'
"default-ulimits": {
"nofile": {
"Name": "nofile",
"Soft": 65536,
"Hard": 65536
}
}
and restart docker daemon.
Just want to append to this issue:
If you create EKS cluster by eksctl then you can append to NodeGroup creation yaml:
preBootstrapCommand:
- "sed -i -e 's/1024:4096/65536:65536/g' /etc/sysconfig/docker"
- "systemctl restart docker"
This will solve the problem for newly created cluster by fixing docker daemon config.
