Today, we are excited to announce the technical preview of Elastic Cloud Serverless on Microsoft Azure — now available in the EastUS region. Elastic Cloud Serverless provides the fastest way to start and scale security, observability, and search solutions without managing infrastructure. Built on the industry-first Search AI Lake architecture — which relies on Azure Blob Storage — it combines vast storage, separate storage and compute, low-latency querying, and advanced AI capabilities to deliver uncompromising speed and scale.

Start and scale quickly with Elastic Cloud Serverless on Azure

  • No compromise on speed or scale: Elasticsearch Serverless dynamically scales to accommodate your workload, handling unpredictable traffic and data spikes automatically — all while offering low-latency search on boundless object storage.

  • Hassle-free operations: Say goodbye to managing clusters, provisioning nodes, or fine-tuning performance. Free your team from operational tasks — no need to manage infrastructure, do capacity planning, upgrade, or scale data. 

  • Purpose-built product experience: Elastic Cloud Serverless provides a new, streamlined workflow to help you create projects tailored to your unique use cases in search, observability, and security. With guided onboarding, you can use in-product resources and tools that guide you every step of the way, accelerating time to value.

  • Simplified pricing model: Elastic Cloud Serverless offers a flexible, usage-based pricing model that scales with your needs. The solution-specific pricing aligns costs with actual usage, offering greater flexibility and cost predictability. Pay only for what you use — whether it’s for data ingested and retained in Elastic Security and Observability products or for compute resources in Elasticsearch.

Getting started with Elastic Cloud Serverless on Azure

When you sign up or log in to the Elastic Cloud console, you can create a serverless project by specifying the type of project you want (Elasticsearch, Elastic Observability, or Elastic Security). If you choose an Observability or Security project, select Azure as the cloud provider and EastUS as the region. For an Elasticsearch project, choose the use case (“General Purpose” or “Optimized for Vectors”), and then select Azure as the cloud provider and EastUS as the region. After clicking "Create project," your Elastic Cloud Serverless project will be provisioned within minutes.
