Amazon OpenSearch Service

Amazon OpenSearch Service makes it easy for you to perform interactive log analytics, real-time application monitoring, website search and much more. OpenSearch is an open source, distributed search and analytics suite derived from Elasticsearch. Amazon OpenSearch Service is the successor to Amazon Elasticsearch Service, and offers the latest versions of OpenSearch, support for 19 versions of Elasticsearch (1.5 to 7.10 versions), as well as visualisation capabilities powered by OpenSearch Dashboards and Kibana (1.5 to 7.10 versions).

Overview

Focus on analysis instead of spending time managing your deployment, and adjusting deployment configurations as requirements change – while using the power of open source search. Amazon OpenSearch Service meets and maintains high security for authentication, authorisation, encryption, audit and regulatory compliance. It also integrates fast, scalable full-text search capabilities, helping you manage growing analytics costs for hot, ultra warm and cold tiers.

Getting started with Amazon OpenSearch Service is easy. You can set up and configure your Amazon OpenSearch Service cluster using the AWS Management Console or a single API call through the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). You can specify the number of instances, instance types, storage options, and modify or delete existing clusters at any time.

Amazon OpenSearch Service makes it easy to upgrade your OpenSearch and Elasticsearch clusters (up to version 7.10) to newer versions without any downtime, using in-place version upgrades. In-place upgrades eliminates the hassle of taking a manual snapshot, restoring it to a cluster running the newer version, and updating all your endpoint references.

Amazon OpenSearch Service provides built-in event monitoring and alerting, enabling you to monitor the data stored in your cluster and automatically send notifications based on pre-configured thresholds. Built using the OpenSearch alerting plugin, this feature lets you configure and manage alerts using your Kibana or OpenSearch Dashboards interface and the REST API. You can receive notifications via custom web-hooks, Slack, Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), and Amazon Chime. You can also view cluster health metrics including number of instances, cluster health, searchable documents, CPU, and memory, as well as disk utilisation for data and master nodes through Amazon CloudWatch, at no additional charge.

And much, much more.

Amazon OpenSearch Service makes it easy for you to search, analyse, visualise and secure up to petabytes of text and unstructured data. With Amazon OpenSearch Service, you pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee or usage requirement. You are charged based on three dimensions: instance hours, which are the number of hours an instance is available to you for use; the amount of storage you need; and data transferred in and out of Amazon OpenSearch Service. Storage pricing depends on the storage tier and type of instance you choose.
