Elasticsearch as a service for GCP

Question

As far as I'm aware, there are no managed elasticsearch solutions provided by Google Cloud Platform, such as there is Amazon Elasticsearch Service on AWS.

I've opened a feature request ticket for this on the issue-tracker here, but I was wondering if there is a service somewhere on GCP that I'm missing? If not, are there plans to build an ES service on top of GCP? And if so, is there a general timeline on when that will be GA?

Answer 1

When configuring your cluster on ES Cloud (the cloud operated by Elastic Inc), you have the choice between hosting it on AWS or on GCP. If you pick GCP, the cluster is fully managed by Elastic on GCP.

This is a commercial feature (but AWS Elasticsearch is too), but you have a 14 days free trial to see how it looks like.

Thank you for creating a feature request!

Regarding Elasticsearch on GCP, I am not 100% sure if it will apply for your case but there is a solution on Google Marketplace. It is Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud offered by Google on GCP. Check it out and see if you can use it.
