Hi I am new to elastic products. We have a requirement to migrate from ECE (Elastic Cloud Enterprise, paid version ) to ELK (Elasticsearch, Kibana, Log stash) Open source version. Is it possible to migrate with existing data. ---

Theoretically I can see possibilities: - configure ELK open source version on your premises as extension nodes of ECE and transfer data by excluding ECE nodes from holding data - create snapshot on ECE using external 3rd party storage , s3 compatible and restore it on new cluster - configure new ELK cluster as remote cluster for ECE and reindex data into new cluster All above should be carefully verified, just giving some ideas. ---

Thank you. Is there any reference document to configure ELK open source version on premises as extension nodes of ECE?. please let me know.
