Installing and Setting up OpenSearch

What is OpenSearch?

OpenSearch is the flexible, scalable, open-source way to build solutions for data-intensive applications. Explore, enrich, and visualize your data with built-in performance, developer-friendly tools, and powerful integrations for machine learning, data processing, and more.

The OpenSearch project, created by Amazon, is a forked search project based on old versions of Elasticsearch and Kibana. These projects were created primarily to support Amazon OpenSearch Service (formerly Amazon Elasticsearch Service). Amazon OpenSearch Service will not deliver current or future releases of Elasticsearch and Kibana.
