Custom Domain Name

[andremarzo]

I am using cloud.elastic.co instance but it provides you long URL to access ES like XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.us-east-xx.aws.found.io

How is possible to use your own domain name with elastic cloud instance?

I think this blog can help: Custom Domains and Anonymous Access on Elastic Cloud.

Hi @Imma I do not think that is a great solution it's effectively saying put an nginx reverse proxy in front of the load balanced and resilient infrastructure that you are buying from Elastic Cloud.

I notice on previous subjects relating to this (going back 18 months+) it was mentioned that this ability was coming. Do you have any further details?

Use own domain as Kibana URL

Hi @ingoAlmeida, It's not yet possible, see more info here (same rules apply to Kibana endpoint as well). The only workaround I'm aware of is to have your own proxy infrastructure in front of Elastic Cloud cluster. Having said that I know this issue is tracked and in discussion right now. Best, Oleg

Elastic Cloud custom domain?

Hey Alberto It's not fully supported today as the browser will complain about TLS as the certificate won't be for the same domain. You can define a CNAME. If your cluster is for example abcdef.us-east-1.aws.found.io you can add a CNAME my-es-cluster in your DNS which goes to abcdef.us-east-1.aws.found.io. It will be fully supported in the future AFAIK. But no ETA on this though.

Thanks,
Steven.

Hi Steven.

This is one of the most requested features. Customer endpoint aliases are already supported, which was the first step. What we do not yet support is a custom domain.

For that, you would still need a reverse proxy in front of our load balancer/proxies. Unless you don't care about the TLS complain and use a CNAME.

We still do not have an ETA on bringing your own domain for Elasticsearch Service, though it's on our radar.
