Setup opensearch aws enables us to use a fully managed service that simplifies the deployment, security, scaling, and monitoring of an OpenSearch cluster in the AWS Cloud.

Bobcares provides answers to all queries, big and small, as part of our AWS support services.

Let’s take a closer look at how to use the console to create an OpenSearch Service domain.

Setup Opensearch AWS

We select the instance type and count for data and dedicated master nodes when configuring our Amazon OpenSearch Service domain. The distributed databases Elasticsearch and OpenSearch run on a cluster of instances or nodes.

The Amazon OpenSearch Service is a fully managed AWS Cloud service that makes it simple to deploy, secure, scale, and monitor the OpenSearch cluster. The distributed database solutions Elasticsearch and OpenSearch are difficult to plan for and implement.

An OpenSearch cluster is the same as an OpenSearch Service domain. Domains are clusters that we define in terms of settings, instance types, instance counts, and storage resources. Using the console, the AWS CLI, or the AWS SDKs, we can create an OpenSearch Service domain.

OpenSearch Service domain using the console

Follow the steps below to use the console to create an OpenSearch Service domain.

1. Firstly, go to https://aws.amazon.com and select Console Sign In.
2. Then, select Amazon OpenSearch Service from the Analytics menu.
3. Select Create domain.
4. Then, give the domain a unique name.
5. We can ignore  the custom endpoint settings.
6. Select Development and testing as the deployment type.
7. Then, select the most recent version for Version.
8. Change the instance type from t3.small.search to t3.small.search under Data nodes. Then keep the default value of three nodes.
9. Select Public access from the Network menu.
10. Choose Create master user from the fine-grained access control settings. Give username and password.
11. Ignore the SAML authentication and Amazon Cognito authentication sections for the time being.
12. Finally, select Only use fine-grained access control for the Access policy.
13. Ignore the remaining options and select Create. Initializing new domains usually takes 15–30 minutes, but it can take longer depending on the configuration. Make a note of the domain’s endpoint after it has been created.
