Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud has expanded its availability to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) region in Montréal, marking its ninth GCP region globally and fourth in the Americas. This expansion allows existing users to access the new region immediately, while new users can explore a free 14-day trial to experience features like index lifecycle management and machine learning. The partnership between Elastic and Google enhances the service by integrating built-in technologies for various use cases such as logging, metrics, APM, and BI/analytics, and facilitates procurement through the GCP Marketplace, with charges consolidated into the user's GCP bill. The collaboration aims to continue expanding GCP region availability and integrate native GCP console features, supporting both Elastic Cloud Enterprise and Elastic Cloud Kubernetes.
