Elastic Cloud Serverless Global Expansion

4 posts · Apr 2026 – Aug 2026

What this trail covers

Elastic Cloud Serverless has expanded its global coverage to 33 regions across Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, enabling users to deploy search, observability, security, and RAG applications with enhanced scalability and independent scaling of search and ingest tiers. This expansion aims to eliminate infrastructure bottlenecks and allow developers to focus on building solutions. Azure Private Link support is now generally available, allowing private network connections between Azure workloads and Elastic Cloud Serverless deployments, enhancing security by keeping traffic within Azure's network backbone. AWS PrivateLink support is also available.

All Elastic trails
  1. Azure Private Link for Elastic Cloud Serverless is now generally availableIntroduces general availability of Azure Private Link for Elastic Cloud Serverless, enabling secure, private network connections between Azure workloads and Elastic Serverless projects. This feature ensures traffic stays within Azure's network backbone, rejecting requests not originating from a whitelisted private endpoint or IP filter. It details the setup process involving Azure private endpoints and Elastic private connection policies, highlighting differences from AWS PrivateLink. The post also clarifies packaging and availability tiers, grandfathering rules for older projects, and the coexistence of IP filters and private endpoints.
  2. Introducing cross-project search for Elastic Cloud ServerlessIntroduces cross-project search (CPS) for Elastic Cloud Serverless, enabling unified querying across distributed projects without data movement or egress fees. Details include one-step linking via the cloud console, flexible scoping controls (UI scope, per-space defaults, query adjustments), and security enforcement per project. Demonstrates how to link projects and manage search scope using the project picker and project_routing expressions in ES|QL. Highlights enhanced Elastic Cloud API Keys for direct authentication against Elasticsearch and Kibana APIs, simplifying programmatic access. Outlines pricing and availability for CPS, including linked retained data charges and data transfer fees.
