If I want to deploy ECE in a private cloud (on-prem or my own cloud account like Oracle OCI, AWS, GCP), is there a licensing fee or subscription free or its Apache open source free ?
Also is there a separate support/maintenance fee from Elastic which an Enterprise can buy for support ?

ECE is not Open Source, it is only available on subscription.
You can read about our subscription options here
- [https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)
and there's a "Request Info" link there so you can fill in your details and have someone talk with you about what you're trying to do and how you can make that work with ECE (or some other solution if that's a better fit).
