Customers can add powerful capabilities to the applications and services they run in Azure, including:

  • Adding rich search and visualization capabilities available in the Elastic Stack to Azure applications and websites.
  • Bringing information to knowledge workers’ fingertips by allowing them to search across data in Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and more with Workplace Search.
  • Gaining visibility into the health and performance of their Azure environment when collecting and visualizing logs, metrics, and APM traces with Elastic Observability.
  • Protecting their Azure environment with security information and event management (SIEM), threat hunting, and security response capabilities with Elastic Security.

For Azure customers, adopting Elastic’s as a managed solution alleviates typical infrastructure management requirements, so they can focus on gaining insights that help them run their business. Customers automatically benefit from the latest innovations from Elastic, with security, maintenance, and support included.

In addition to tighter integration, customers benefit from marketplace subscription management and consolidated billing through Azure. Customer spend with Elastic’s accrues toward their annual spending commitment, with the ability to analyze spend by product and region within the Elastic’s console.
