NOTE: **Note:**
Elasticsearch should be installed on a separate server, whether you install
it yourself or by using the
[Amazon Elasticsearch](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/es-gsg.html)
service. Running Elasticsearch on the same server as GitLab is not recommended

service.
