HI,  
I deployed an elastic search service cluster on the cloud, and we are looking forward to set this up on production.  
are there any security aspects we should take care of?  
I have no control over the deployment (just add more nodes, memory, type of cluster, etc) and i belive all the nodes are secure within the cluster, but i need to understand:

1. Do we need to add certificates for beats?. Traffic is https to \*[azure.elastic-cloud.com](http://azure.elastic-cloud.com) sites.
2. What about clients using kibana, or SAML authentication?
