-% What needs to be done: Refine
+Similar to {{ilm-cap}} ({{ilm-init}}), Elasticsearch Curator can help you manage index lifecycles. **If {{ilm-init}} provides the functionality to manage your index lifecycle and you have at least a Basic license, use {{ilm-init}} instead of Curator.** Many {{stack}} components use {{ilm-init}} by default.

-# About [about]
-
-Elasticsearch Curator helps you curate, or manage, your Elasticsearch indices and snapshots by:
-
-1. Obtaining the full list of indices (or snapshots) from the cluster, as the *actionable list*
-2. Iterate through a list of user-defined [filters](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/filters.html) to progressively remove indices (or snapshots) from this *actionable list* as needed.
-3. Perform various [actions](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/actions.html) on the items which remain in the *actionable list.*

-# Curator and Index Lifecycle Management [ilm]
-
-Beginning with Elasticsearch version 6.6, Elasticsearch has provided [Index Lifecycle Management](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.15/index-lifecycle-management.md) (or, ILM) to users with at least a Basic license. ILM provides users with many of the most common index management features as a matter of policy, rather than execution time analysis (which is how Curator works).
