What is Elasticsearch Service?

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of solving a growing number of use cases. As the heart of the Elastic Stack, it centrally stores your data so you can discover the expected and uncover the unexpected. Commonly used for log analytics, full-text search, security intelligence, business analytics, and operational intelligence. Elasticsearch Service is a managed service that allows users to deploy, manage, and scale Elasticsearch clusters in the cloud. It handles the underlying infrastructure, patching, backups, and monitoring, so users can focus on analyzing their data.
