Elastic Cloud Hosted lets you manage and configure one or more deployments of the versioned Elastic Stack, hosted on Elastic Cloud. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes extends Kubernetes orchestration capabilities to allow you to deploy and manage components of the Elastic Stack. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version.

The Elasticsearch provides default user credentials to help you get up and running.
In self-managed clusters, these users are created as built-in users.
In orchestrated deployments (ECH, ECE, and ECK), the elastic user is managed by the platform, while other default users are not accessible to end users. The way that credentials are managed for this and other internal users depends on your orchestrator.
In this section, you'll learn how to manage credentials for orchestrator-managed users:
- In Elastic Cloud Enterprise and Elastic Cloud Hosted, learn how to reset password for the
elasticuser. - In Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, learn how to manage the
elasticuser, and how to rotate all auto-generated credentials used by ECK.
