 == What information is sent to the {package-registry}?
 
 In production environments, {kib}, through the {fleet} plugin, is the only service interacting with the {package-registry}. Communication happens when interacting with the Integrations UI, and when upgrading {kib}. The shared information is about discovery of Elastic packages and their available versions. In general, the only deployment-specific data that is shared is the {kib} version.
