Elastic search Managed instance on Azure - Data storage

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

We are planning to use elastic cloud managed instance from azure portal. what I understood that Azure portal is only for billing purpose actual instance will be created on elastic cloud only. Below are some queries related to data stored in Elasticsearch.

  1. Where is data stored in Elasticsearch cloud instance?
  2. Can data be stored in our Azure storage instead of elastic cloud?

From Elastic Search to Elasticsearch

Welcome!

That's correct. For the questions:

  1. In the Azure region you are choosing when creating the cluster.
  2. I don't think so. The only way to do that IMO would be to run ECE instead but then the billing will be done by Elastic directly and you will have to manage/monitor the services.

Thanks for reply.

So if we directly use Elastic cloud service, we will have option to provide prefer data store for data. Can we use Azure File Storage as Storage for Elastic Search data also will it impact performance of elastic Search?

There are different types of nodes with different profiles. You can not provide your own storage for the data in the cluster.

Elasticsearch is very I/O intensive and requires the file system to behave exactly like local storage. I therefore doubt using Azure File Storage for anything but backups is recommended or even supported.
