Elastic Cloud connection

To access your data in Elastic Cloud, create a connection asset for it.

Elastic Cloud is a serverless solution that offers the use of the Elasticsearch engine fully managed by a cloud provider.

Supported versions

Elasticsearch service version 8.

Note:

Elasticsearch version 8.15.0 is not supported. If you are on version 8.15.0, upgrade to version 8.15.2. For more information, see Elasticsearch release notes.

If you have set up an integrated cloud service, select the service instance to automatically fill in the fields in the connection form. Confirm that all the fields are complete.

To create the connection asset, you need to choose one of the connection endpoint types:

URL: the URL to access Elastic Cloud
Cloud ID: this ID is from the Elastic Cloud web console

For credentials, choose one of the following methods:

For Private connectivity, to connect to a database that is not externalized to the internet (for example, behind a firewall), you must set up a secure connection.
