Elastic, the Search AI company, announced a new five-year strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The agreement reflects a shared commitment to help accelerate organizations’ transition into AI-native enterprises through joint product integrations and go-to-market
(GTM) initiatives that help customers build generative AI-based applications faster while
reducing complexity.
Building on a foundation of strong collaboration, Elastic and AWS will continue to invest
in technical integrations designed to help customers drive their AI innovation. The
integrations of Elastic’s Search AI Platform and AWS services will empower customers
to build intelligent, scalable, and secure applications with unprecedented speed and
flexibility, and will enable them to,
ď‚· Leverage Generative AI features across Elastic solutions using high-performing
foundation models through Amazon Bedrock.
ď‚· Unlock support for migrating Elasticsearch workloads from on-premise data
centers to Elastic Cloud on AWS
ď‚· Benefit from ongoing cost efficiencies when using Elastic Cloud Serverless on
AWS
ď‚· Accelerate agentic AI as a result of the Elastic and AWS collaboration on Model
Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent interoperability
ď‚· Build solutions that protect data across all layers for customers in highly
regulated industries, including the Public Sector and Financial Services
“As the speed of generative AI adoption accelerates, search has become increasingly
relevant,” said Ash Kulkarni, chief executive officer at Elastic. “Our collaboration
with AWS and integration with Amazon Bedrock brings the power of search directly to
generative AI for a host of use cases, including cybersecurity and observability.
Together, we’re enabling developers to build intelligent, context-aware applications that
leverage their own data securely and at scale.”
“Together with Elastic, we’re helping customers transform how they leverage data and
AI to drive innovation,” said Ruba Borno, vice president, Specialists and Partners at
AWS. “This strategic collaboration delivers particular value for highly regulated
industries requiring robust data protection, while our shared commitment to standards
like Model Context Protocols enables seamless agent-to-agent interactions. Available
through AWS Marketplace, customers will be able to quickly deploy solutions that
combine Elastic’s powerful search capabilities with Amazon Bedrock on the secure,
global AWS infrastructure, helping them build compliant, intelligent applications that
accelerate their AI journey.”
The SCA will build on the long-standing collaboration between AWS and Elastic. For
example, Elastic AI Assistant, Attack Discovery, Automatic Import, Automatic Migration,
Automatic Troubleshoot, and AI Playground integrate with Large Language Models
through Amazon Bedrock. These integrations help customers accelerate root cause
analysis, synthesize complex signals into actionable insights, automate data onboarding
in minutes, and simplify migration. With natural language and RAG-powered workflows,
teams can interact with data more intuitively and drive faster, smarter decisions.
Customers, including Generis and BigID, benefit from Elastic’s work with AWS:
“The strength of the Elastic and AWS partnership has been fundamental to Generis’s
mission of delivering secure, compliant, and intelligent solutions for clients in highly
regulated industries,” said Mariusz Pala, CTO at Generis. “By deploying Elastic on
AWS, we’ve reduced average search times by 1000% and cut the time to produce
complex, compliance-driven documents from two weeks to just two days, providing our
clients real-time insights while upholding the highest standards of data integrity and
control.”
“Leveraging Elastic Cloud on AWS has been transformative for BigID. We’ve achieved a
120x acceleration in query performance, enabling real-time data insights that were
previously unattainable,” said Avior Malkukian, Head of DevOps at BigID. “The
scalability and flexibility of Elastic Cloud on AWS allow us to efficiently manage vast and
complex data landscapes, ensuring our customers can swiftly discover and protect their
sensitive information. Elastic Cloud on AWS is a powerful combination that allows us to
deliver innovative features, reduce operational costs, and maintain our leadership in
data security and compliance.”
This SCA comes on the heels of Elastic’s recent recognition within the AWS Partner
Network. In December 2024, Elastic was named the AWS Global Generative AI
Infrastructure and Data Partner of the Year. It was among the first 15 AWS software
partners recognized at the launch of the AWS Generative AI Competency. In recent
months, Elastic was also recognized by AWS for its work in the public sector, receiving
AWS competency designations for both the Government (February) and Education
(May) sectors.
