Hosted ElasticSearch

• Number of hosted providers available is growing, maybe reflective of interest

• Elastic.co acquired Found.io and now offers Elastic stack as a service

• QBox offers ElasticSearch across multiple cloud providers

• Bonsai.io offers data encrypted at rest for ElasticSearch

• http://www.searchly.com/ - I use it for ElasticSearche proof-of-concepts as it offers free tier

• Amazon ElasticSearch Service requires AWS subscription, a tad tedious to setup and to connect
