Description

What: In order to use ELSER, users must deploy it on an ML node to ensure that the model has enough resources. Given that security users also use ELSER, we should explicitly document this in our security docs. Otherwise, add a clear reference link to ELSER docs.

Resources

To use ELSER, the NLP model must be deployed in your Elasticsearch cluster. The minimum dedicated ML node size for deploying ELSER is 4 GB, with autoscaling recommended for dynamic resource adjustment.
