Quick Sandbox Preset
Elastic Stack only — the fastest way to get a running environment. Ideal for POCs, demos, or testing Kibana dashboards without the full SOC stack.
Deploys in approximately 6–8 minutes — the fastest available preset. Estimated cost is $0.40–$0.60/hour on GCP (us-east1). Includes foundation (VPC, gateway, DNS) and Elastic Stack only.
