Elastic has expanded support for Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine (VM) types on Elastic Cloud, allowing for improved price-performance across various use cases. Users can now choose from new hardware profiles backed by Edsv4, Ddv4, and Fsv2 VM series, which offer a range of compute, memory, and disk configurations to better suit custom needs. The update enables organizations to optimize performance and cost by selecting the most appropriate hardware. Users can either create a new deployment or migrate existing deployments to these new VM types by utilizing the Elastic Cloud platform, which includes options for modifying settings such as region and hardware profile. Elastic emphasizes that the release and timing of these features are at their discretion, and not all functionalities may be available immediately.
