I'd like to add some custom region maps to my ECS Kibana instance similar to what is discussed in this post `https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0`. I see how to edit the kibana.yml file in the "advanced" settings in ECS, but I can't figure out how to host the actual .geojson on the localhost in the cloud service. Is it possible to use ECS like the example in this blog, or would I need to build a stand-alone web server if it's not possible to host locally in ECS? ---

You'll probably need to host it using your own server. Are you doing things locally? You could try using something like Python's SimpleHttpServer. ---
