Cross-cluster search (CCS) is now generally available on the Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, allowing users to search across multiple deployments from a single endpoint and Kibana instance. Initially, this feature supports federated searches within the same region for Elastic Stack 6.7+ deployments, with plans to expand across regions in future updates. The Elasticsearch Service simplifies the management of multiple deployments, enabling better isolation, backup control, and upgrade scheduling. CCS enhances logging and observability by allowing separate deployments per log and data type, leading to improved performance and scalability. It also supports searching across different major versions of Elasticsearch, providing flexibility for teams to upgrade at their own pace. Additional features in this release include OpenID Connect single sign-on and Kerberos authentication for securing clusters and instances, with a 14-day free trial available for new users.
