    • Teams already on Elasticsearch who want Observability as the Cloud solution
    • Elastic Observability is positioned around Open observability on Elastic Cloud — logs, metrics, and traces without treating search-only Elasticsearch as the SKU. That focus is useful when buyers want a clear primary job rather than an everything-platform.
