1 post · Aug 2026

What this trail covers

ECK 3.5 enhances Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes with dynamic namespace management via label selectors, allowing live onboarding/offboarding without operator restarts. It introduces 'pause orchestration' for controlled maintenance windows, expands mutual TLS across all stack components connecting to Elasticsearch, and improves StackConfigPolicy for declarative Elasticsearch role definitions and reusable policies with dynamic substitution variables.
