The Elasticsearch Service has expanded its availability to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) region in São Paulo, marking its first presence in South America and its 11th GCP region globally. This move allows existing users to access the new region immediately, while new users can explore the service with a 14-day free trial. The service offers advanced features such as machine learning, index lifecycle management, and intuitive visualization tools like Kibana Lens and Canvas. Elastic and Google have partnered to enhance the service with native GCP console integration and offer it through the GCP Marketplace with integrated billing options. Additionally, Elastic provides resources and support for users migrating their Elasticsearch data to the new region.
