[Internal]: ECH - Plan for production page is not redirected correctly

[kunisen]

Description

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-planning.html is supposed to be redirected to https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/elastic-cloud-hosted-planning per below

 docs-content git:(main) ag "https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-planning"                                             
deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/elastic-cloud-hosted-planning.md
3:  - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-planning.html

➜  docs-content git:(main) cat deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/elastic-cloud-hosted-planning.md | head
---
mapped_pages:
  - https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-planning.html
applies_to:
  deployment:
    ess: ga
products:
  - id: cloud-hosted
---

But when clicking thru, it's redirected to https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/production-guidance/elasticsearch-in-production-environments.

Why it matters?

Two reasons

• A) It's a doc redirection bug.
• B) It causes impact more than a redirection bug.

---

:: Details about A) - redirection bug

• https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-planning.html is ECH - Plan for production page. It's supposed to be redirected to ECH same page after docs v3 migration - https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/elastic-cloud-hosted-planning.
• https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/production-guidance/elasticsearch-in-production-environments is Elasticsearch - Plan for production page, which doesn't contain enough cloud related info.

Also, it's linked in cloud.elastic.co. where this wrong redirection will cause confusion to customers and users.

---

:: Details about B) - more than redirection bug

Due to this redirection bug, users are not able to get to the correct ECH - Plan for production page, where they will lose the ability to understand how to plan for High Availability for their production environment on cloud. (Only ES is not enough, so we have had a dedicated cloud page). And correspondingly, they will get into trouble if they don't configure HA, (we have essential system maintenance all the time and w/o HA, they will experience service outage and data loss), and they will lose trust to Elastic.
