Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, announced that the Elasticsearch vector database is now a natively supported information retrieval engine for Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform.

Google Cloud’s Gemini models are available in the Elastic low-code playground experience, giving developers more choices when A/B testing LLMs, tuning retrieval and chunking.

Elastic is launching Helm Charts for Elasticsearch and Kibana to provide a standard, opinionated way to install, configure, upgrade, and run these applications on Kubernetes.
