Elastic (ESTC), known for its Search AI platform, has entered a five-year strategic collaboration agreement - SCA with Amazon Web Services.
The partnership aims to support organizations in becoming AI-native by combining Elastic's AI-driven search capabilities with AWS's infrastructure and services. This includes joint product integrations and go-to-market strategies to help customers build generative AI applications faster and with less complexity.
Under the extended partnership, both companies will continue investing in technical integrations to drive AI innovation. This collaboration will empower users to leverage Elastic's generative AI features through Amazon Bedrock's foundation models, seamlessly migrate Elasticsearch workloads to Elastic Cloud on AWS, and optimize costs with Elastic Cloud Serverless on AWS. It will also support advancements in agentic AI through cooperation on Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent interoperability, while enabling the development of secure solutions tailored for highly regulated sectors such as finance and the public sector.
Elastic CEO Ash Kulkarni noted that as generative AI adoption accelerates, search becomes more critical. He emphasized that the integration with Amazon Bedrock supports use cases like cybersecurity and observability, enabling developers to build context-aware, secure, scalable applications.
Ruba Borno, AWS VP of Specialists and Partners, highlighted the partnership's value for regulated industries and the use of shared standards like MCP. She stated that the collaboration allows rapid deployment of compliant, intelligent applications by combining Elastic's search features with Amazon Bedrock, all available through AWS Marketplace.
The agreement builds on existing integrations like Elastic AI Assistant, Attack Discovery, and AI Playground, which utilize Amazon Bedrock's large language models. These tools help users simplify data onboarding, automate troubleshooting, and accelerate insights with natural language and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows.
Customers such as Generis and BigID have experienced significant benefits from the Elastic and AWS partnership. Generis CTO Mariusz Pala noted that deploying Elastic on AWS reduced search times by 1000% and shortened the production of compliance-driven documents from two weeks to just two days, all while upholding high standards of data integrity and regulatory compliance.
Similarly, Avior Malkukian, Head of DevOps at BigID, reported a 120-fold increase in query performance and highlighted the scalability of Elastic Cloud on AWS as a key factor in delivering real-time data insights, enhancing data protection, and driving innovation.
This announcement follows Elastic's growing recognition in the AWS Partner Network. In December 2024, Elastic was named AWS Global Generative AI Infrastructure and Data Partner of the Year and was among the first AWS software partners in the Generative AI Competency. It also received AWS competency designations for the Government and Education sectors earlier this year.
ESTC is currently trading at $92.65, or 0.22% lower on the NYSE.
