+Fluent Bit supports connecting to [Elastic Cloud](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-getting-started.html) by providing `cloud_id` setting and the proper credentials. Credentials can be specified by either the `cloud_auth` or `cloud_apikey` setting.
+
+`cloud_auth` uses the `elastic` user and password provided when the cluster was created. For details refer to the [Cloud ID usage page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-cloud-id.html).
+
+`cloud_apikey` uses the cloud apikey that could be generated in the Elasticsearch Service console. For details, refer to the [Cloud API Keys page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-api-keys.html).

 ### Mapping type names can't start with underscores (`_`)
 
 Fluent Bit v1.5 changed the default mapping type from `flb_type` to `_doc`, matching the recommendation from Elasticsearch for version 6.2 and greater ([see commit with rationale](https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/commit/04ed3d8104ca8a2f491453777ae6e38e5377817e#diff-c9ae115d3acaceac5efb949edbb21196)).
