The alliance aims to simplify generative AI application development by integrating Elastic’s Search AI Platform with Amazon Bedrock and other AWS services.
Elastic, the Search AI company, has signed a five-year strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help organizations accelerate their journey into AI-native enterprises. This expanded alliance combines the strengths of Elastic’s Search AI Platform and AWS’s powerful cloud infrastructure to deliver generative AI capabilities at scale.
Under the agreement, both companies will co-invest in joint product integrations and go-to-market (GTM) efforts that help enterprises build secure, intelligent, and scalable AI-driven applications faster and with reduced complexity. Key offerings include Elastic’s generative AI features running on Amazon Bedrock, support for seamless migration of Elasticsearch workloads to Elastic Cloud on AWS, and enhanced data protection for regulated industries such as financial services and the public sector.
“Together with AWS, we’re unlocking the full potential of search in the GenAI era.”

The collaboration also focuses on advancing agentic AI capabilities through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling agent-to-agent interoperability—a critical step in realizing autonomous AI operations.
“As the speed of generative AI adoption accelerates, search has become increasingly relevant,” said Ash Kulkarni, CEO of 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.”
AWS echoed the impact of the collaboration, particularly for customers in regulated industries. “This strategic collaboration delivers particular value for highly regulated industries requiring robust data protection,” said Ruba Borno, VP, Specialists and Partners at AWS. “Through AWS Marketplace, customers can quickly deploy Elastic solutions combined with Amazon Bedrock to build compliant, intelligent applications that accelerate their AI journey.”
Early adopters like Generis and BigID have already seen transformative results. Generis reported a 1000% improvement in search speed, while BigID achieved a 120x acceleration in query performance using Elastic Cloud on AWS.
Elastic was recently recognized as the AWS Global Generative AI Infrastructure and Data Partner of the Year, reinforcing its leadership in the evolving AI ecosystem.
The announcement marks a major step toward democratizing secure, AI-powered innovation across industries and sectors.
