Elasticsearch has been integrated into the Microsoft Azure portal, allowing users to deploy and manage Elasticsearch directly from Azure, thereby enhancing enterprise search, observability, and security within the Azure environment. This integration enables users to purchase Elastic Cloud plans through the Azure marketplace, consolidate billing, and manage Elasticsearch deployments seamlessly with familiar Azure tools. It also offers features such as ingesting Azure logs with ease, single sign-on capabilities, and improved search and visualization for Azure applications. The partnership provides cloud-optimized features like Azure Private Link for secure data routing, autoscaling for performance optimization, and cost-effective data retention through Microsoft Blob Storage. Users can benefit from enhanced cross-cluster search, replication across regions, and simplified billing by incorporating Elasticsearch into their Azure infrastructure.
