Azure Private Link integration with Elastic Cloud is now generally available, offering a secure way to connect your Virtual Network (VNET) with Elastic Cloud services while avoiding exposure to the public internet. This integration enhances security by routing data through private Azure service endpoints, aligning with security policies and compliance requirements across all subscription tiers. The setup process involves creating a Private Link endpoint with a private IP, configuring a DNS record, and establishing a traffic filter on the Elastic Cloud portal to limit access to specified deployments. By employing this method, only clients using the Private Link route can access the services, ensuring a secure connection to Elasticsearch and related endpoints. Users can start the process by accessing the Azure portal, and those new to Elastic Cloud can explore a 14-day free trial.
