Elastic ON Amsterdam November 2022
Despite the snow and canceled flights, we made it from Östersund to Amsterdam for ElasticON. It was worth it!
The recurring partner meeting offered insightful customer cases as exciting new technical solutions and collaborations.
The stock exchange hall was filled with participants from all over Europe representing all types of industries. It is quite clear what breadth Elastic has and it became especially clear when Jim Stolze entered the stage. He provided plenty of laughs with a quiz that touched on everything from Kahoot to Metaverse, made possible by Elastic, of course.
Illuminate the possibilities, was the theme of the meeting and focus on Enterprise Search, Observability and Security. We took inspiration and new tips with us in our continued work to deliver Elastic in our solutions.
Participants were partners from Europe as well as invited sponsors such as Google, Kyndryl and others
There is a lot of information to share after an event like this.
Below is a summary of what we learned. Contact us if you want to know more.
Use cases
Eliran Moyal from Humanz showed how they developed an app for influencers to maximize social media campaigns using Elastic Enterprise Search.
Sven Hilke from BMW demonstrated how to automate presentence measurement on all applications that are called when a customer brings the car in for service. This affects many roles such as dealer, workshop, design etc etc. This has been possible with Elastic except for the presentation in Canvas, which is now replaced by Angular.
Elinor Woods and Simon Thornton of the Mets Office (Weather) Collect all logs from measuring satellites and other weather probes for forecasting and presentation. Extreme amounts of data to be collected and analyzed. Worked in a new way that gave development responsibility to each unit and not to the IT department to present a finished solution, but to be supportive and share experiences and tips between the departments. This has been possible in a tool like Elastic.
Adam Button, Sitecore.There are no experts or analysts to hire, therefore they must be their own specialists and be able to deliver complex queries required for their Security center. They have built their SOC operation on Elastic with a highly automated process. The next step is to go to the cloud and to replace Beat with Fleet.
Technical track
Vector search with Steve Dodson
How to use AI analysis of e.g. images to create a vector for each image and then improve the search results by doing vector searches on images instead of keyword searches on the description of the image. Specific use case as demades was a clothing shop.
Elasticsecurity with Marvin Ngoma
What has happened recently with Elastic Security and demo on how to analyze logs, metrics and security events in order to then act in the environment using Endpoint.
Elastic’s collaboration with google cloud, Oren Loulay, Pedro Esteves and Delphin Barankanira from google.
Google presented its collaboration with Elastic and how they have helped each other to get the most out of Elasticsearch in the google cloud. How to run Elastic on google cloud and how to integrate Elastic and google cloud to be able to move data between Elasticsearch and google cloud.
Elasticsearch stateless and the future in the cloud, David Brimley and Henning Andersen
Elastic is working to provide a stateless architecture in the cloud in the future where you only have to pay for what you use and Elastic themselves will be responsible for the provision of the service. You as a user should not have to work with anything other than your data, maintenance of the Elastic platform is handled by Elastic.
Elasticsearch full-stack profiling with Israel Ogbole
APM goes one step further, analyze the performance of your application from the server all the way down to specific lines and draw conclusions on how to save, for example, CPU power. These conclusions are then used to calculate how much the reduced CPU utilization gives in saved costs and reduced climate footprint. This is only in beta right now.
