Elastic and Microsoft have strengthened their partnership by integrating Elastic solutions with Microsoft Azure services, aiming to enhance data management and infrastructure for users. This collaboration has led to the recognition of Elastic as part of the Azure Native ISV Service, which facilitates the provisioning and integration of independent software vendor solutions on Azure, streamlining operations and accelerating value delivery. Users can deploy managed instances of the Elastic Stack directly via the Azure marketplace, consolidating Azure logs into Elastic with ease. The partnership highlights successful use cases like Mr. Turing and Cranfield University, which have leveraged Elastic on Azure for efficient data management and cost reductions. Elastic Cloud on Azure offers scalable, unified solutions for various challenges, including SIEM for threat detection, log management, and cognitive search, with a straightforward onboarding process through Azure Marketplace. Elastic's features and functionalities are subject to its discretion, with no guaranteed release timeline.
