The Elastic Cloud console gives you a single place to create and manage your deployments, view billing information, and stay informed about new releases. It provides an easy and intuitive user interface (UI) for common management and administrative tasks.

Enrichment is the process of merging data from an authoritative source into documents as they are ingested into Elasticsearch. For example, enrichment can be done with the GeoIP Processor which processes documents that contain IP addresses and adds information about the geographical location associated with each IP address.
