Hello @Asjad_Athick,
I found [this nice guide](https://www.elastic.co/blog/observability-monitoring-amazon-eks-logs-and-metrics-with-the-elastic-stack), and I would like to try it.
But, is it possible to be done with [AWS ELK](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/the-elk-stack/) service instead [Elastic Cloud service](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/service)?

Welcome!
It's not possible as you will be missing [this feature](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.8/metricbeat-module-aws.html) which can only work with the default distribution of elasticsearch.
