Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose customers can now send data to Amazon OpenSearch Service using OpenSearch Service auto-generated document ID option. This configuration option enables write-heavy operations, such as log analytics and observability, to consume fewer CPU resources at the OpenSearch domain, resulting in improved performance.

Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose makes it easier to reliably load streaming data into Amazon OpenSearch Service and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless. With Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, you don't need to write applications or manage resources. You can configure your producers to automatically deliver your data to the destination that you specify. You can also configure Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to transform your data before delivering it.
