 ::::{tip}
 In 8.12 we introduced a set of [Connector APIs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/group/endpoint-connector) to create and manage Elastic connectors and sync jobs, along with a [CLI tool](https://github.com/elastic/connectors/blob/main/docs/CLI.md). Use these tools if you’d like to work with connectors and sync jobs programmatically, without using the UI.

+$$$es-connectors-overview-architecture-hybrid$$$
 
-Data is synced to an Elastic Cloud deployment through managed connectors and/or self-managed connectors. A self-managed search application exposes the relevant data that your end users are authorized to see in a search experience.
-
-Summary:
-
-* The best combination in terms of flexibility and out-of-the box functionality
-* Integrates with Elastic Cloud hosted managed connectors to bring data to Elasticsearch with minimal operational overhead
-* Self-managed connectors allow enterprises to adhere to strict access policies when using firewalls that don’t allow incoming connections to data sources, while outgoing traffic is easier to control
-* Provides additional functionality available for self-managed connectors such as the [Extraction Service](/reference/ingestion-tools/search-connectors/es-connectors-content-extraction.md#es-connectors-content-extraction-local)
-* Basic functionality available for Standard licenses, advanced features for Platinum licenses
