Looking in elasticsearch-cloud-aws, it seems that discovery can't happen in gov-cloud. Is there an upstream version of the plugin that includes gov-cloud endpoints or is there another workaround? Going with a hacked version for now but... ---

Will be supported with [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/14358](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/14358) In the meantime you can provide the endpoint you want IIRC. ---

Good to know, thank you! You can indeed set an endpoint, but I'd have to templatize gov cloud configs differently than non-gov cloud ( because the config variable name is different ). Plus wasn't sure if I'd later need to change the config ( e.g., if at some point the though might be gov-cloud is strictly part of ec2 so disallow from the compliant but non-ec2 group ). So it is an option but one I had hoped to avoid. ---
