Elastic (NYSE: ESTC) (“Elastic”), the company behind Elasticsearch, today announced an expansion to its collaboration with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS). The two companies are building on momentum and will work together to build, market, and deliver seamless access to Elastic Cloud on AWS while leveraging AWS’s global footprint and breadth of services.

Areas of collaboration include expanding competencies to ease migration to Elastic Cloud on AWS, simplifying onboarding to Elastic Cloud on AWS and streamlining data ingestion, and new go-to-market initiatives.

Expanding Competencies and Validated Qualifications

As an AWS Partner, Elastic has been certified as an AWS ISV Workload Migration Program (WMP) Partner to support the migration of customers to Elastic Cloud on AWS. In addition, Elastic has earned multiple AWS validated qualifications that demonstrate a high level of specialization, AWS technical expertise, and proven customer success.

Elastic’s growing number of AWS competencies and validated qualifications include:

• AWS Data & Analytics ISV Competency
• AWS PrivateLink Ready Product Validation
• AWS Public Sector Partner

Simplifying Onboarding to Elastic Cloud on AWS and Streamlining Data Ingestion

As recently announced, a simplified Elastic Cloud on AWS onboarding experience now offers customers faster time to value with Elastic. Elastic will focus on delivering an enhanced integration for account creation and setup that reduces the initial setup time for Elastic Cloud on AWS from hours to minutes.

As part of a pre-existing technical collaboration driven by customer demand, the companies have already completed more than 20 integrations to streamline data ingestion into Elastic Cloud on AWS. This development work includes integrations with AWS FireLens, Amazon S3 Storage Lens, AWS WAF, and AWS Network Firewall, along with the Elastic serverless forwarder, which is available via the AWS Serverless Application Repository. Elastic will continue to build on AWS to enable customers to seamlessly ingest AWS logs, metrics, and events into Elastic Cloud on AWS quickly to deliver results that matter.

Go-to-Market Initiatives

As part of the expanded collaboration between Elastic and AWS, the two companies will also invest in joint go-to-market initiatives, including a free 7-day trial through the AWS Marketplace, and Elastic offering competitive pricing for its products listed on AWS Marketplace, which provides even greater value to customers.

AWS has committed to working with Elastic to drive new business and accelerate sales cycles through the AWS sales organization. AWS is providing Elastic co-selling support for Elastic Cloud with AWS field sales teams globally and a mutual commitment to customer success from AWS and Elastic as a result of Elastic being in the AWS ISV Accelerate program.
