Creating Index Templates in Elasticsearch 7.13

When working with time series or data streaming use cases, you typically want to spread your data out into multiple indices as to not make an index too large and incur performance penalties as a result. By using index templates, we can instantiate an index for a given dataset very quickly and even automatically. In this hands-on lab, you will get to create index templates in Elasticsearch in order to prepare the cluster to ingest continuously generated time series data.
