OpenSearch on Rocky Linux 9 with Support by Easycloud

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for technical support with a 24-hour response time. OpenSearch 2.19, built on a minimal Rocky Linux 9 installation, is included in this AMI, repackaged by Easycloud. It provides a secure-by-default distributed search and analytics platform, deliberately engineered to eliminate the most common OpenSearch misconfigurations before the cluster ever accepts its first request.

• Rocky Linux 9 Foundation: Provides a robust, enterprise-grade underlying OS with deep structural alignment to RHEL, ensuring high security and seamless ecosystem compatibility with AlmaLinux, CentOS Stream, and traditional CentOS deployments.

• OpenSearch 2.19: An open-source, distributed search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch, built for full-text search, log analytics, and application monitoring at scale. This AMI ships with the built-in Security plugin enabled out of the box, including TLS-encrypted REST API access and a unique preset administrator password, so the cluster starts in a secured state rather than an open one.

• Rocky Linux 9: A stable, enterprise-grade, RHEL-compatible Linux distribution known for long-term binary compatibility and predictable patch cycles, making it a solid, low-drama foundation for a stateful search and analytics workload.

• Secure by Default Search Engine: Unlike many default OpenSearch installs that ship with security disabled or a well-known demo password, this AMI enables the Security plugin, TLS, and a unique per-instance administrator password from first boot, closing the most common OpenSearch misconfiguration before you ever log in.

• Best Practice Compliance: Architected and deployed in strict adherence to official AWS and OpenSearch guidelines, ensuring optimal cloud resource utilization, architectural integrity, and reliable operational performance.

• Production Ready: Based on a hardened, minimal installation of Rocky Linux 9, updated to the latest version, with kernel parameters (vm.max_map_count) already tuned for OpenSearch's memory-mapped storage engine. The default configuration restricts network access to localhost, providing a secure starting point for production deployments.

• Expert Engineering and Support: Professionally repackaged by experienced engineers to guarantee a highly optimized and stable environment. It is backed by comprehensive documentation and fast, professional technical assistance to ensure your search and analytics layer runs smoothly without costly downtime.

• The Enterprise-Grade Search and Analytics Foundation: By starting with a bloat-free Rocky Linux 9 installation, maximum CPU and memory are dedicated entirely to indexing and query execution. This makes it the perfect, conflict-free foundation for full-text search and log analytics workloads that sit alongside Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, and Cassandra, and for data pipelines built on Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ. It seamlessly integrates with observability and dashboarding tools such as Grafana, Kibana, Logstash, Prometheus, and Graylog, and serves as a rock-solid backbone for containerized deployments on Kubernetes and Docker, alongside adjacent search and analytics engines including Apache Solr, Sentry, Typesense, Meilisearch, Matomo, Apache Spark, and Apache Zookeeper, ensuring your search and analytics infrastructure scales without limits.

• Production Ready & Expert Support: Secured with the latest OS patches. It delivers a highly stable environment, fully supported by comprehensive documentation and fast technical assistance (guaranteed 24-hour response time) to ensure your infrastructure runs smoothly without costly downtime.
