Costs of ES|QL Data Federation
Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud. Availability This functionality is not available in Elastic Cloud Serverless. The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability We plan to add this functionality in a future Elastic Stack update. Subject to changes. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

ES|QL Data Federation queries data where it lives instead of copying it into Elasticsearch. Running these queries can incur costs from two places: your storage provider and Elastic.
Your storage provider bills for the requests and data transfer that each query generates. These charges apply whether you run queries through the API or in Kibana, and on every deployment type.
To understand, estimate, and reduce these charges, refer to the page for your storage provider:
Elastic doesn't charge separately for Data Federation queries during the technical preview.
On Elastic Cloud Hosted, federated queries use your deployment's capacity and data transfer like any other query. For details, refer to Cloud Hosted deployment billing dimensions.
