Ditto. Really want to support Elastic but have found their cloud offering just randomly breaks. Latest problem is we lost a node and the new node couldn't recover its shards from backups. Constant crashing until we upsized the instance to have more memory. Makes no sense and support wouldn't lift a finger to help.

Are you running dedicated master nodes? We switched from every node does everything few years ago and it’s been incredibly stable

I'm surprised they'd even let you run a cluster without dedicated master nodes. It's basic good practice and their docs emphasize this quite clearly.

I don’t remember if 12 years ago it was so obvious…. But yes it is very clear these days
