Elastic Cloud Enterprise

What Elastic Cloud Enterprise is

Elastic Cloud Enterprise is a self-managed system for deploying and managing Elasticsearch clusters at scale. It automates provisioning, scaling, and upgrades, with a web interface and API for cluster management. Deployments can run on public or private clouds, virtual machines, or on-premises infrastructure; listed public cloud providers are Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. ECE supports high availability through multiple Availability Zones, data replication, and automated restore and snapshots. Deployments can include Elasticsearch and Kibana, with optional APM and Fleet services. For deployments on version 8.0 and later, users can add a combined APM Server and Fleet Server. Access management includes platform role-based controls and external providers such as Active Directory, LDAP, and SAML. Network traffic is encrypted by default, but encryption at rest is not provided out of the box and requires configuration on hosts and snapshot targets. ECE does not support placing a specific cluster on hardware entirely dedicated apart from other clusters. Pricing is on request, with licensing based on node count and used RAM.
