Today, we are pleased to announce the latest iteration of the world’s leading platform for search-powered solutions with the general availability of Elastic 8.3.

As the community continues to adopt cloud infrastructure, create and consume cloud-native applications, and deploy and operate cloud-based workloads; Elastic continues to evolve the Elastic Search Platform to meet the demands of a cloud-first world.

• For example, with Elastic 8.3, organisations can improve their cloud security posture and protect cloud workloads with Elastic Security for Cloud, enabling them to secure cloud environments; from deployment to run-time.
• In addition, Elastic 8.3 helps users achieve broader observability for a wide variety of modern cloud environments through additional cloud-native integrations like Amazon CloudWatch, S3, Kinesis Data Streams, SQS, and more.
• And because we know that the demands of a cloud-first world include solving for hybrid cloud scenarios, we are pleased to announce that with Elastic 8.3, Elastic Cloud users will be able to search and replicate data between Elasticsearch clusters, even when they reside in different environments, such as on-premises and cloud. Yes, you read that right; cross-cluster search (CCS) and cross-cluster replication (CCR) now support searching and replicating data across Elastic Cloud, self-managed clusters, Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE), and Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK).

Whether it’s connecting people and teams with content that matters, optimizing mission-critical applications and infrastructure, or protecting your digital ecosystem from cyber threats, Elastic 8.3 is available to help everyone reach new levels of success.
