Snapshot Lifecycle Manager not working on Elastic Cloud

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Is Snapshot Lifecycle Manager supported on Elastic Cloud. I'm aware that Elastic Cloud has build in snapshots but that is an all or nothing approach. SLM would give us more control over our what we snapshot as well as retention.

Attempting to start SLM fails

POST /_slm/start

{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "parse_exception",
        "reason": "request body is required"
      }
    ],
    "type": "parse_exception",
    "reason": "request body is required"
  },
  "status": 400
}

Attempting to get SLM status fails

GET /_slm/status 

{
  "error": "Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/_slm/status?pretty] and method [GET], allowed: [POST]",
  "status": 405
}

SLM Is not currently enabled for cloud, but stay tuned to a future release.
