In April this year, we introduced OpenSearch, a community-driven, open source search and analytics suite derived from open source Elasticsearch 7.10.2 and Kibana 7.10.2. The project consists of a search engine (OpenSearch), a visualization and user interface (OpenSearch Dashboards), and the advanced features from Open Distro for Elasticsearch (our previous distribution of Elasticsearch) such as […]

Today, we are introducing the OpenSearch project, a community-driven, open source fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana. We are making a long-term investment in OpenSearch to ensure users continue to have a secure, high-quality, fully open source search and analytics suite with a rich roadmap of new and innovative functionality. This project includes OpenSearch (derived from […]

This post was contributed by Qing Lan, Carol McDonald, and Kong Zhao. With the growing interest in deep learning (DL), more users are using DL in their production environments.

As the dust settles after another re:Invent closes, I wanted to put together a quick summary of all the open source-related announcements that happened in the run up to this year’s re:Invent and the week itself. If you are interested in open source in mobile web development, devops, containers, security, big data and data analytics, […]

There is an enormous increase in real-time streaming applications across a wide range of industries such as finance, health, information technology, retail, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Organizations depend on log analytics solutions to detect aberrations in the data and identify critical situations. Examples include finding fraudulent behavior in financial transactions, discovering suspicious IP addresses […]
