Description

Many Elastic Security customers run Elastic Defend in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). Currently, we can't reliably tell if an endpoint is running in the cloud or which cloud provider it's using.

We need to update any outdated screenshots or UI descriptions to match this update.

The team couldn't work on it during 8.18. We'll aim to push it for 8.19/9.1, which are parallel releases.

Hi @nick-alayil. Did this make it into 8.19? I'm unable to follow the status changes in the linked issue.

Afaik, this didn’t make it into 8.19. I’m no longer the owner of this area, so I’ll updated the description with the new point of contact, @roxana-gheorghe . On second thought, I don’t believe documentation is needed for this work, as it’s primarily about adding cloud metadata to endpoint telemetry, an internal implementation detail. So, I'm closing this as not planned. So, I’m closing this as not planned.
