Elastic has provided services for many years, with their users and customers typically managing Elastic themselves on premises. Elastic Cloud, the managed Elasticsearch service, provides a way to consume the Elastic Stack (ELK Stack) and solutions for enterprise search, observability, and security. You can access Elastic solutions with apps such as Logs, Metrics, APM (application performance monitoring), and SIEM (security information and event management). You can use integrated features such as machine learning, index lifecycle management, Kibana Lens (for drag-and drop visualizations).
