What are solutions?edit

We’ve streamlined the setup process for the most common use cases for the Elastic Stack by grouping them into solutions. Solutions are specialized templates pre-configured with sensible defaults and settings. The available solutions are:

If you need something else, you can customize the Elastic Stack for whatever you can dream up, using one of our hardware profiles as a starting point.
