Manage deployments in Elastic Cloud Enterprise

ECE

Elastic Cloud Enterprise allows you to manage one or more instances of the Elastic Stack through deployments.

A deployment helps you manage an Elasticsearch cluster and instances of other Elastic products, like Kibana or APM, in one place. Spin up, scale, upgrade, and delete your Elastic Stack products without having to manage each one separately. In a deployment, everything works together.

ECE provides a preset of hardware profiles that provide a unique blend of storage, memory and vCPU for each component of a deployment. They support a specific purpose, such as a hot-warm architecture, that helps you manage your data storage retention.

All of these profiles are based on deployment templates, which are a reusable configuration of Elastic products that you can deploy. You can modify existing deployment templates, or create custom deployment templates, to suit your needs.

Refer to Create a deployment to launch and configure an Elastic Stack environment.

Maintaining your existing deployments is important. Take a look at the things you can do to keep your deployments and the Elastic Stack running smoothly.

Deployments in ECE are managed from the Deployment view of the Cloud UI. This section focuses on the different actions you can take from this view.

From the deployment main page, you can quickly access the following configuration areas:

From the Deployment > Security view, you can manage security settings, authentication, and access controls. Refer to Secure your clusters for more details on security options for your deployments.

From the deployment view, you can directly access endpoints, platform logs and metrics, and troubleshoot issues using various built-in tools.
