AutoOps, initially launched for Elastic Cloud Hosted environments, is now available for self-managed Elasticsearch clusters, offering simplified cluster management with real-time issue detection, performance recommendations, and insights into resource utilization. This development aims to reduce administrative overhead and manual performance tuning efforts, allowing users to enhance performance by identifying and addressing bottlenecks such as slow queries and unbalanced shards. By providing clear insights into resource utilization, AutoOps helps lower costs by identifying underutilized nodes and optimizing hardware expenditure. The setup process is quick, requiring only a few minutes to connect a self-managed cluster to an Elastic Cloud account. Existing users have reported improvements in performance and system reliability, with companies like Tipalti achieving significant cost savings. AutoOps is included in the Enterprise subscription and can be easily enabled through the deployment of a Metricbeat agent, ensuring secure data privacy as only cluster metrics, not the underlying data, are shared with Elastic Cloud.
