Take advantage of a number of benefits that come with upgrading to the latest version of Elastic, including significant performance improvements, groundbreaking new features, bug fixes, security updates, and running on a supported version.
As new versions are released, older versions reach their end of life at a regular cadence. This has implications on the level of support we can offer should issues arise.
Bugs happen. Our testers and huge community of users help us find them and they get fixed. Upgrading to the latest version fixes these bugs.
New security issues can be submitted and reviewed at our security issues page. For Elastic Cloud users, security patches are applied by Elastic automatically.
The performance of our products is constantly increasing so you can search faster, use less memory, and access cheaper storage.
Alongside continual Elastic Stack performance improvements, many newly released features improve the user experience for our key solutions — Enterprise Search, Observability, and Security.
Our discussion forums are a great way to connect with engineering and the wider community to get answers to your questions. Also, you can join our Elastic community on Slack.
