Overview
Elasticsearch on Amazon Linux 2023 provides a fully configured, production-ready search and analytics engine on AWS.
This AMI is built on a minimal installation of Amazon Linux 2023, updated to the latest security patches, and includes Elasticsearch pre-installed and configured for immediate use. Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of handling diverse data types including textual, numerical, geospatial, structured, and unstructured data. It is built on Apache Lucene and provides near real-time search capabilities.
Key components included:
- Elasticsearch server (single-node configuration, ready for production or cluster expansion)
- Java runtime (optimized JVM settings)
- Essential management and monitoring tools
- Git version control
Key capabilities:
- Full-text search with advanced query DSL
- Real-time data indexing and analytics
- RESTful API for easy integration
- Horizontal scalability (add nodes to form a cluster)
- Built-in snapshot and restore for data backup
- Index lifecycle management
The system is security hardened following best practices. SSH access uses key pair authentication only. Elasticsearch is configured to listen on localhost by default for security. Unnecessary services and packages have been removed to reduce the attack surface. Automatic security updates are enabled by default.
This AMI is suitable for full-text search applications, log analytics and monitoring, real-time data analytics, e-commerce product search, application performance monitoring, and security information and event management (SIEM). Logstash and Kibana are not included but can be installed separately if needed.

The ELv2 license has the following limitations: (1) You may not provide Elasticsearch to third parties as a hosted or managed search service; (2) You may not circumvent license key functionality; (3) You may not remove licensing or copyright notices.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
