Features

AWS manages software installing, upgrading, patching, scaling (up to 3 PB), and cross-Region replicating with no downtime. OpenSearch Service is also bundled with a dashboard visualization tool, Amazon OpenSearch Dashboards, which helps visualize not only log and trace data, but also machine learning (ML)-powered results for anomaly detection and search relevance ranking.

Managed OpenSearch

Run search workloads simply without the hassle of configuring, managing, and scaling OpenSearch clusters. OpenSearch Service provides the power of open-source search with interactive millisecond response times. Additionally, Amazon OpenSearch Serverless enables search and log analytics without provisioning and adjusting resources, automatically scaling resources based on your application's needs.
