ECE installation procedures

Choose the guide for the Elastic Cloud Enterprise deployment scenario that best fits your business needs:

Deploy a small installation: For development, test, and small-scale use cases.
Deploy a medium installation: For many production setups.
Deploy a large installation: For deployments with significant overall search and indexing throughput.

For installations using Podman instead of docker, refer to Fresh installation of ECE using Podman hosts.

If you need to migrate an existing installation based on docker to Podman, follow Migrate ECE to Podman hosts.
