# Content connectors

Elastic's content connectors allow you to extract, transform, index, and sync data from third-party applications including Github, PagerDuty, Jira, Teams, Google Drive, Slack, email, and more ([view all connectors](elasticsearch://reference/search-connectors/index.md)).

{{stack}} supports two deployment methods for your connectors: Elastic managed, and self-managed. Self-managed connectors require you to deploy on your own infrastructure (for example, run some Python code on a server you manage). When you use an Elastic managed connector, Elastic runs the infrastructure for you. Self-managed connectors can be customized, whereas Elastic managed connectors do not allow customization.

## Managed vs self-managed connectors
1212

13-
{{sec-serverless}} only supports Elastic managed connectors. {{stack}} deployments support either self-managed or Elastic managed deployments.
13+
Content connectors are available in two deployment options: you can run them yourself or let Elastic run them within your managed deployment on {{ecloud}}.
14+

### Elastic managed connectors
16+
```yaml {applies_to}
17+
stack: preview 9.1

deployment:

self: unavailable

serverless:

security: preview

```

Elastic managed connectors are deployed within your managed Elastic environment. These connectors:
25+
- Require no infrastructure management
26+
- Offer simplified setup and maintenance
27+
- Do not support customization
28+
- Only send data to the serverless/hosted deployment they're deployed within
29+
30+
### Self-managed connectors
31+
Self-managed connectors run on your own infrastructure, independent of where your {{es}} instance is running. These connectors:
32+
- Require you to deploy the connector service (Python) on your infrastructure
33+
- Can send data to any {{es}} instance (managed or self-managed)
34+
- Can be customized
