Elastic Cloud has introduced new traffic management features, including IP filtering and integration with AWS PrivateLink, to enhance network security for its deployments on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. These features allow users to control access to their Elastic Cloud deployments by specifying network access based on IP addresses or ranges and by enabling private connectivity between virtual private clouds (VPCs) and on-premises applications through AWS PrivateLink. This integration supports secure communication using private IPs, simplifies network management, and aligns with security practices such as the principle of least privilege and layered security. Users can create and manage traffic filters in the Elastic Cloud console, associating them with deployments to restrict access to trusted sources, thereby securing sensitive data and personally identifiable information. These enhancements are available to all Elastic Cloud customers at no additional cost, and detailed guidance for setup is provided in the product documentation.
