How to get started with Elasticsearch Service on AWS GovCloud

We’re happy to announce the beta availability of our new government region, AWS GovCloud (US East), for the Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud. This new region is our first step in simplifying operations for Elastic users who handle government data as we work toward gaining a Moderate authorization for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).

Transparent, resource-based pricing with Elastic Enterprise Search

Until now, standard search solution pricing has been based on models that are difficult to understand, expensive to scale, and/or beneficial to only the search vendor. At Elastic, we’re taking a different approach based on the principles of transparency, fairness, and scalability, and have introduced resource-based pricing for our products running on Elastic Cloud. And we believe that this pricing approach will revolutionize Enterprise Search buying and ownership.

Elastic SIEM for home and small business: SIEM overview

Hello, security enthusiasts! This is part seven (can you believe it?) of the Elastic SIEM for home and small business blog series. If you haven’t read the first six blogs in the series, you may want to before going any further. In the prerequisite blogs we created our Elasticsearch Service deployment (part 1), secured access to our cluster by restricting privileges for users and Beats (part 2), then we created an ingest pipeline for GeoIP data and reviewed our Beats configurations (part 3).

Creating meta engines in App Search to scale your search experiences

We introduced meta engines for Elastic App Search on Elastic Cloud and self-managed versions in the 7.6 release and have been thrilled to see the response to the new feature. Meta engines provide the ability to search across multiple existing or new engines. Think of adding a new search box to a page that then goes off and searches the documents in the sub-engines of your choosing.

How to create maintainable and reusable Logstash pipelines

Logstash is an open source data processing pipeline that ingests events from one or more inputs, transforms them, and then sends each event to one or more outputs. Some Logstash implementations may have many lines of code and may process events from multiple input sources. In order to make such implementations more maintainable, I will show how to increase code reusability by creating pipelines from modular components.

The advantages of resource-based pricing in security

Given the complexity of large enterprise environments, coupled with the diversity of the vendor landscape, there is no single, agreed-upon “best” way to buy security. The battles continue between CAPEX or OPEX, net-30 or net-90, annual or multi-year, perpetual or subscription. One thing we do know, however, is that all too often the consumer pays for something he or she does not use.
