This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview Elasticsearch is the open source distributed search and analytics engine that powers log analytics, observability, application search and security analytics for organisations of every size. This image delivers Elasticsearch fully installed and configured, so a working search and analytics node is running within minutes of launch, with no package management, repository setup or security bootstrap required.
Search Stack Elasticsearch running as a systemd service in single node mode. The REST API listens on port 9200, the cluster transport on port 9300, and the bundled OpenJDK runtime ships inside the package, with no separate Java install or version pinning to manage. Customers can add further nodes themselves by joining them to the cluster.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh password for the elastic superuser, unique to that instance, applies it to the Elasticsearch security index and stores the plain text value in a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image and the API is never exposed without authentication.
Dedicated Storage Tier The Elasticsearch data directory (path.data) lives on a separate, independently resizable EBS volume. Index data is kept off the operating system disk so it can be grown without disturbing the rest of the instance.
Ready To Use The Elasticsearch service, configuration, data directory and superuser account are all prepared. Connect over SSH and immediately curl the REST API on port 9200, index documents, run search queries and inspect cluster health. The user guide walks through every common operation against the running node.

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.
Version release notes
Initial release of Elasticsearch 8.x single node search and analytics engine.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). Elasticsearch serves its REST API on port 9200. Retrieve the generated elastic superuser password with: sudo cat /root/elasticsearch-credentials.txt. Then test the API with: curl -u elastic:<password> http://<instance-public-ip>:9200/. Restrict port 9200 to trusted networks because the REST API exposes administrative operations once authenticated. To enable HTTPS, follow the TLS section of the user guide.
