The Elasticsearch Service is now generally available on Microsoft Azure following a successful public beta, enhancing the collaboration between Elastic and Microsoft. This development allows existing users to deploy services on Azure via their current accounts, while new users can access a 14-day free trial. The service offers robust features, such as one-click, zero downtime upgrades, and the latest software releases and security patches. Additionally, Elastic continues to support Microsoft technologies through various integrations, including Azure Active Directory and .NET support. The partnership aims to ensure seamless technology integration, fostering innovation opportunities for users. The service's expansion includes new Azure regions in Washington and Singapore, with plans for further global support. Customer testimonials, such as from Bell and Howell's Dr. Haroon Abbu, highlight the service's capability to enhance data management and predictive maintenance. A promotional period offering free data transfer and storage is currently available to encourage new deployments on Azure.
