-# Elasticsearch, Kibana and AWS - Solution
+# Elasticsearch, Kibana and AWS
+
+Your task is to build an elasticsearch cluster along with Kibana dashboard on one of the following clouds:
+
+* AWS
+* OpenStack
+* Azure
+* GCP
+
+You have to describe in details (preferably with some drawings) how you are going to set it up.
+Please describe in detail:
+
+- How you scale it up or down
+- How you quickly (less 20 minutes) provision the cluster
+- How you apply security policy for access control
+- How you transfer the logs from the app to ELK
+- How you deal with multi apps running in different regions
+
+# Solution
 
 This one out of many possible solutions. This solution is relying heavily on AWS.
