The ELK stack (ElasticSearch-Logstash-Kibana), is a horizontally scalable solution with multiple tiers and points of extension and scalability. Because so many companies have adopted the platform and tuned it for their specific use cases, it would be impossible to enumerate all the novel ways in which scalability and availability had been enhanced by load balancers, ELK: Architectural points of extension and scalability for the ELK stack

Although the ELK stack has rich support for clustering, clustering is not supported over WAN connections due to Elasticsearch being sensitive to latency.  There are also practical concerns of network throughput given how much data some installations index on an hourly basis. So as nice as it would be to have a unified, eventually consistent ELK: Federated Search with a Tribe node
