Elastic

Banks are enabling personalization with Elastic - your industry can, too

Think about the moments when something is presented to you that is just what you’re looking for. Those moments, when it feels like a company you trust knows you, are all too rare in commerce. And of course, presented incorrectly, they can even feel invasive. But done well, they solidify your relationship as a customer, and reinforce that you’re getting the service you deserve.

5 questions about Ansible that Elastic Observability can answer

While automating systems is seen as an imperative in boardrooms around the globe, automation teams — the teams on the ground — often lack the data to help them to industrialize their automation efforts and move from ad-hoc automation to strategic automation. In this automation-focused blog post, we will show how to instrument infrastructure automation with Elastic Observability.

Logstash: Path to ECS for 8.0

The Elastic Common Schema is a community-driven effort to provide consistent semantic meaning to datasets so that data from disparate sources can be meaningfully used together. In Logstash 8.0, ECS compatibility is on-by-default — this is a pretty major change to how many plugins operate.

Code coverage for eBPF programs

I bet we all have heard so much about eBPF in recent years. Data shows that eBPF is quickly becoming the first choice for implementing tracing and security applications, and Elastic is also working relentlessly on supercharging our security solutions (and more) with eBPF. However, one major challenge is that the eBPF ecosystem lacks tooling to make developers' lives easier. eBPF programs are written in C but compiled for a specific ISA later executed by the eBPF Virtual Machine.

ING Group is a Dutch-based multinational banking and financial services corporation serving more than 38 million customers globally.

Shay Banon to (re)assume the role of CTO, Ash Kulkarni promoted to CEO

Today we had an exciting announcement at Elastic. Below is part of an internal email that we shared with our fellow Elasticians. First, hear from Shay: Almost two years ago, I decided to move to Israel because it was better for my family (that took time to happen, Covid!). At that time, I started thinking about how to do what is right for my family while being able to be a meaningful part of Elastic. Those of you who know me, know that Elastic is my life’s work. And we have only just begun.
