Summary

Elastic Cloud enables users to efficiently manage their Enterprise Search deployments by offering features for time-based scaling to handle predictable traffic spikes, such as those during business hours. This can be achieved using the Elastic Cloud API, which allows for resizing deployments through API requests executed via cron jobs. Users can prepare deployment changes in the Elastic Cloud UI, which generates the necessary API calls for adjusting node numbers and memory allocation. By scheduling these API calls, users can ensure their deployments are ready to handle increased demand without waiting for traditional autoscaling triggers like high CPU usage. Additionally, Elastic Cloud's recently introduced autoscaling capabilities allow Elasticsearch and machine learning nodes to automatically scale with data growth, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency.
