Elastic Cloud Enterprise

Purpose: Elastic Cloud Enterprise is a self-managed solution for deploying, orchestrating, and managing Elasticsearch clusters at scale.
Deployment locations: ECE can be deployed on public or private clouds, virtual machines, or on-premises.
Cloud providers: For public cloud deployments, Elastic lists Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.
Cluster management: ECE automates cluster provisioning, scaling, and upgrades.
Availability: ECE supports high availability through multiple Availability Zones, data replication, and automated restore and snapshot.
Management interface: ECE provides a web interface and API for creating and managing clusters.
Elastic Stack components: ECE deployments can include Elasticsearch and Kibana, with optional services such as APM and Fleet.
Integrations: For deployments on version 8.0 and later, users can add a combined APM Server and Fleet Server.
Authentication and access: ECE supports platform role-based access control and external authentication providers including Active Directory, LDAP, and SAML.
Encryption: ECE encrypts network traffic by default, but does not provide encryption at rest out of the box; hosts and snapshot targets must be configured for it.
Notable limitation: ECE does not support running a specific cluster on entirely dedicated hardware separate from other clusters.
Operating systems: ECE installation guidance names Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, RHEL 8, 9, and 10, Rocky Linux 8 and 9, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5 and 15.
FIPS support: FIPS compliance is not officially supported or validated for ECE and is not recommended for production environments.
Intended use: Elastic describes ECE as useful for hosting sensitive data on an internal network, reusing on-premises infrastructure, and centrally managing deployments across teams or geographies.
