{{ecloud}} [intro]

{{ecloud}} allows you to centrally manage hosted deployments of the {{stack}} and serverless projects for your Observability, Security, and Search use cases.

These hosted deployments and serverless projects are hosted on {{ecloud}}, through the cloud provider and regions of your choice, and are tied to your organization account.

You can check the operational status of {{ecloud}} at any time from status.elastic.co.

Sign up

You can get started by creating an {{ecloud}} organization on cloud.elastic.co.

For more details on the available sign up options and trial information, go to .

Browser access requirements [browser-access]

If your organization restricts outbound browser traffic with a firewall, proxy, or secure web gateway, ensure users can access the following domains.

Standard {{ecloud}} domains

These domains are used for the {{ecloud}} console, authentication, and deployment or project endpoints:

  • cloud.elastic.co
  • *.cloud.es.io
  • *.elastic.cloud

Additional required domains

These domains are required to load certain assets used by the {{ecloud}} console and {{kib}}:

  • console.estccdn.com: Serves static assets required by the {{ecloud}} console after sign-in. If unreachable, some pages in cloud.elastic.co might appear blank.

  • kibana.estccdn.com: Serves assets required to load {{kib}} in {{serverless-short}} projects. If unreachable, {{kib}} might appear as a blank page.
