Elastic Cloud is a hosted service by Elastic offering the latest features and improvements of Elasticsearch and Kibana, along with X-Pack features like security and monitoring. It simplifies operations and reduces costs while being supported by Elastic's team. Migration to Elastic Cloud can be done through several approaches, such as loading data from external sources, reindexing from remote clusters, or restoring snapshots from storage like S3. Reindexing allows data to take advantage of new data structures and performance improvements, whereas snapshot restoration is less costly but doesn't benefit from these enhancements. The article also provides detailed steps for both reindexing and snapshot restoration, including configuration requirements and considerations for different environments, ensuring a seamless transition to Elastic Cloud. A free 14-day trial and an easy-to-use pricing calculator are available for those interested in exploring Elastic Cloud.
