## 🎉 New in Elastic 8.4 Elastic 8.4 introduces a broad set of new capabilities to the Elastic Search Platform and its three built-in solutions. - **Elastic Enterprise Search** delivers increasingly flexible data ingestion options (thanks to a new generation of web crawlers and connectors) and includes enhancements to native vector search capabilities. - **Elastic Observability** accelerates problem resolution with smarter alert and incident management for AIOps thanks to a new dedicated control plane for alert and incident management and collaboration. - **Elastic Security** accelerates response with a purpose-built automation interface, powerful new automation actions, and an ever-expanding ecosystem of security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) partnerships. Elastic 8.4 is [available now on Elastic Cloud](https://cloud.elastic.co/registration?elektra=whats-new-elastic-8-4-0-blog) — the only hosted Elasticsearch offering to include all of the new features in this latest release.
