Is it possible to run an ELK deployment on Elastic Cloud with the Gold subscription without having the Gold license?
I have seen that for self-managed ELK we need to get the Gold license.
Is that the same case with Elastic Cloud or do we pay monthly as shown here - [https://cloud.elastic.co/pricing](https://cloud.elastic.co/pricing)?

You don't need to buy another license. It's included.

@dadoonet Do I also get access to all the Gold features like Kibana Alerts and Watcher Alerts included in this?
