Cloud Provisioning

Provision and run Elastic Cloud infrastructure through the Cloud API: Serverless projects (create and day-2 operations), traffic filters (network security for those projects), and Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments. For configuring Cloud authentication and managing organization access, use the cloud-onboarding skill.

Environment Configuration

This skill operates the Elastic Cloud control plane through the elastic CLI. If the elastic CLI is not installed, tell the user what it is needed for. Do not guess credentials, bypass the CLI to call the HTTP API directly, or attempt other workarounds.

Control-plane operations authenticate against the Elastic Cloud API (organization scope), not a single stack deployment. The elastic CLI reads this from its active context, which stores an Elastic Cloud API key in the OS keychain. If a control-plane call fails with an authentication error, the context is missing or lacks a Cloud API key — instruct the user to add one, and never ask the user to paste an API key into the chat:
