Elastic Cloud has expanded its availability on Microsoft Azure to four new regions: Brazil South, Canada Central, South Africa North, and Central India. This development allows users to enhance search experiences, ensure the smooth operation of critical applications, and protect against cyber threats by leveraging Elastic’s solutions in Enterprise Search, Observability, and Security. The service reduces operational overhead by managing maintenance, upgrades, and security patches while offering flexibility for deployment across multiple cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. Users can choose between a managed service or self-management with automation tools, and Microsoft Azure customers can subscribe via the Azure Marketplace with integrated billing. Elastic Cloud’s features are designed to lower total ownership costs and simplify deployment through a user-friendly console, offering a free 14-day trial for new users.
