Feels like Alpha
We were very pleased discovering the option to procure ES Cloud through AWS Amrketplace. However, we quickly found very basic features missing:
- It is not possible to have more than one management account for ES Cloud. Meaning only one user can create and manage deployments (clusters)
- It is not possible to restrict IP ranges for access to ES endpoints
- A private VPC Link apparently requires manual steps on ES side and was not available for us.
Of Course Elasticsearch works and configuration is relatively easy. Due to the issues mentioned, I can't recommend this service for anything close to production.
AWS PrivateLink support and IP filtering were added in July 2020. See release notes here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-release-notes-2020-07-13.html
Hello Andri, We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Elasticsearch Service. Your feedback is very important to us. We are pleased to share that support for both IP filtering and PrivateLink is planned for release in late July. We encourage you to take another look at that time. We have been working hard to add additional features and expand our region support. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact our support team and check-in with our community. Hope that helps. Sincerely, The Elastic Cloud Team
