I want to use Elastic "Cloud Hosted" in Azure. Where infrastructure is hosted in Microsoft or Elastic Datacenter?

Hi,

Sorry if this is a trivial question, but I can’t find a clear answer. My company wants to use Elasticsearch, and we have strict governance policies. If we choose the managed Elasticsearch offering from Azure, where is the cluster actually created - within Azure, or in Elastic Cloud? We do not want to use virtual machines. Additionally, what is the situation with the new Serverless option?

regards

Welcome!

Elastic Cloud is hosted on Azure, AWS and GCP.
So when you choose Elastic Cloud on Azure, it's running on Azure infra, but all managed by Elastic.

Same for Serverless.

When you create your cluster from the Azure Console, it's created on Azure infra.

Makes sense?
