We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of Elastic 7.14, including our Elastic Enterprise Search, Observability, and Security solutions, which are built into the Elastic Stack — Elasticsearch and Kibana.

Today, we are happy to announce three major improvements that will make it easier to integrate your systems and applications with the Elastic Stack.
