Snapshot Management helps you create point-in-time backups of your domain using OpenSearch Dashboards, including both data and configuration settings (for visualizations and dashboards). You can use these snapshots to restore your cluster to a specific state, recover from potential failures, and even clone environments for testing or development purposes. In this post, we share how to use Snapshot Management to take automated snapshots using OpenSearch Service.

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is the serverless option for Amazon OpenSearch Service that makes it simple for you to run search and analytics workloads without having to think about infrastructure management. We recently announced new enhancements to autoscaling in OpenSearch Serverless that scales capacity automatically in response to your query loads. At launch, OpenSearch Serverless supported […]

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is an on-demand, auto-scaling configuration for Amazon OpenSearch Service. OpenSearch Serverless enables a broad set of use cases, such as real-time application monitoring, log analytics, and website search. OpenSearch Serverless lets you use OpenSearch without having to worry about scaling and managing an OpenSearch cluster. A collection can be accessed over the […]

Amazon OpenSearch Service is a managed service that makes it simple to secure, deploy, and operate OpenSearch clusters at scale in the AWS Cloud. Amazon OpenSearch clusters are comprised of data nodes and cluster manager nodes. The cluster manager nodes elect a leader among themselves. The leader node is the authority on the metadata in […]

In this blog post, we discuss the impact of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume IOPS and throughput limits on Amazon OpenSearch Service domain and how to prevent/mitigate throughput throttling situation.

In this post, we show how you can implement a suffix-based search. OpenSearch is an open-source RESTful search engine built on top of the Apache Lucene library. OpenSearch full-text search is fast, can give the result of complex queries within a fraction of a second. With OpenSearch, you can convert unstructured text into structured text using different text analyzers, tokenizers, and filters to improve search. OpenSearch uses a default analyzer, called the standard analyzer, which works well for most use cases out of the box. But for some use cases, it may not work best, and you need to use a specific analyzer.

Ingesting a high volume of streaming data has been a defining characteristic of operational analytics workloads with Amazon OpenSearch Service. Many of these workloads involve either self-managed Apache Kafka or Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) to satisfy their data streaming needs. Consuming data from Amazon MSK and writing to OpenSearch Service has been a challenge for customers. AWS Lambda, custom code, Kafka Connect, and Logstash have been used for ingesting this data. These methods involve tools that must be built and maintained. In this post, we introduce Amazon MSK as a source to Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion, a serverless, fully managed, real-time data collector for OpenSearch Service that makes this ingestion even easier.

This post demonstrates how to use Terraform to create, deploy, and clean up OpenSearch Serverless infrastructure.. Amazon OpenSearch Serverless provides the search and analytical functionality of OpenSearch without the manual overhead of configuring, managing, and scaling OpenSearch clusters. It automatically scales the resources based on your workload, and you only pay for the resources consumed. Managing OpenSearch Serverless is simple, but with infrastructure as code (IaC) software like Terraform, you can simplify your resource management even more.

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is a serverless deployment option for Amazon OpenSearch Service that makes it simple for you to run search and analytics workloads without having to think about infrastructure management. The compute capacity used for data ingestion, and search and query in OpenSearch Serverless is measured in OpenSearch Compute Units (OCUs). Customers can configure […]

Amazon Security Lake centralizes access and management of your security data by aggregating security event logs from AWS environments, other cloud providers, on premise infrastructure, and other software as a service (SaaS) solutions. By converting logs and events using Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework, an open standard for storing security events in a common and shareable format, […]
