Elasticsearch Service has expanded its availability on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) by launching in the Sydney region, marking its second GCP region in the Asia Pacific and sixth globally. This expansion enables faster and more responsive solutions for customers in the APAC region while maintaining service parity with other global locations. Existing users can immediately leverage the new region, while new users can explore the service through a free 14-day trial. The expansion aligns with an ongoing partnership between Elastic and Google Cloud, which includes future plans to introduce additional GCP regions, enhance billing integration, and improve native GCP Console interactions for a seamless Elastic Stack experience. The launch follows the recent introduction of the Tokyo region and comes as part of Elastic's commitment to providing comprehensive support and an optimized user experience for GCP customers.
