AWS Graviton4 instances now available on Elastic Cloud Hosted

At Elastic, we are always focused on improving performance and cost efficiency for our customers running observability, security, and search workloads on Elastic Cloud Hosted. In close collaboration with AWS, we are excited to introduce a new Storage Optimized (ARM) hardware profile and an updated CPU Optimized (ARM) hardware profile both powered by AWS Graviton4 processors.

These new ARM-based hardware profiles bring the next generation of AWS compute to Elastic Cloud Hosted:

• The CPU Optimized (ARM) hardware profile delivers up to 15% better price-performance compared to the previous ARM generation, making it ideal for CPU-bound, indexing-heavy, and query-intensive workloads.

• The Storage Optimized (ARM) hardware profile delivers up to 40% better price-performance, providing significant gains for data-intensive workloads that rely on high-performance local storage.

Customers benefit from improved compute efficiency, faster data processing, and more cost-effective scaling across search, observability, and security workloads — all without changing how they build or operate on Elastic Cloud Hosted.

These hardware profiles are available in select AWS regions. For the most up-to-date list of supported regions, refer to our regional availability documentation.

1. In the Elastic Cloud console, start creating a new deployment by selecting a solution view (Elasticsearch, Elastic Observability, or Elastic Security) for your deployment and then select AWS as your cloud provider.

2. When choosing the hardware profile, select either Storage Optimized (ARM) or CPU Optimized (ARM). More information on our hardware profiles and configurations can be found in our documentation.

3. Once selected, continue with your usual configuration steps and create the deployment. 

1. From the Elastic Cloud console, click on an existing deployment that has been created. 

2. On the deployment overview page next to your current hardware profile, select Edit.

3. Select the Storage Optimized (ARM) or CPU Optimized (ARM) hardware profile. 

4. Preview the changes for the new hardware profile. 

5. Click Update, then confirm the changes to migrate to the new hardware profile.
