Preview Elastic 8.0 with the beta release: Stack security by default, natural language processing, and more

Elastic has announced the beta release of Elastic 8.0.0, part of a series of pre-releases designed for testing new features and changes before the general availability of version 8.0. Key enhancements include default security settings that simplify the security configuration process, support for third-party PyTorch NLP models in Elastic machine learning, and an upgraded assistant to help users transition to the new version. This release aims to improve the performance, security, and scalability of the Elastic Stack, which integrates Enterprise Search, Observability, and Security solutions. Notably, the new NLP capabilities allow for advanced text analysis tasks like sentiment analysis and text classification. Elastic invites users to test these features, provide feedback, and engage with the community through various channels, emphasizing that some features may not be available in the final release.
