Hi All. I recently received a notice from the Elastic Cloud team saying they are changing the way they set up cross origin resource sharing on clusters:

> Elasticsearch Service clusters provisioned on Elastic Cloud prior to January 25th, 2019 have a [CORS](https://link.elastic.co/a0321e0IJM0e00sMYABUDQp) policy set at the proxy layer. This is now deprecated, and we will be moving to a model that requires customers to configure their own[http module](https://link.elastic.co/a0321e0IJM0e00tMZABUDQp) CORS policy to their needs. These settings are configurable as[Elasticsearch user settings](https://link.elastic.co/MB2M1J0eMVDIp00ve0QA003) for a cloud deployment. This is applicable for all clusters.

I'm trying to figure out if this affects me and if I need to make changes to my setup. Basically, I connect to my Elasticsearch instance using Django Elasticsearch DSL ([GitHub - django-es/django-elasticsearch-dsl: This is a package that allows indexing of django models in elasticsearch with elasticsearch-dsl-py.](https://github.com/sabricot/django-elasticsearch-dsl)), which relies on Elasticsearch DSL ([Elasticsearch DSL — Elasticsearch DSL 8.11.0 documentation](https://elasticsearch-dsl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)). I don't believe I need to enable CORS in my settings, but I just want to verify with others that are in this situation.

Thanks,  
Casey
