OpenSearch UI supports Cross Account Data Access to OpenSearch domains Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports cross-account data access, enabling users to access OpenSearch domains hosted in different AWS accounts from within a single OpenSearch UI application. With this feature, you can query or build dashboard with data from OpenSearch domains across different accounts in the same region - without switching to a new endpoint or replicating data. Cross-account data access is available for OpenSearch domains hosted in both public and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) configurations. With cross-account data access, teams no longer need to consolidate data into a single account or maintain costly data pipelines to enable unified analysis across organizational boundaries. This makes it easier to build centralized observability, search, and security analytics workflows that span multiple AWS accounts while keeping data in place and maintaining each account's access controls. Cross-account data access supports both IAM (including SAML via IAM federation) and IAM Identity Center (IdC) for end user authentication. Cross-account data access to OpenSearch domains is available in all AWS Regions where OpenSearch UI is available. To learn more, see Cross-account data access to OpenSearch domains in the Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide.

Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports in-place volume increases for all volume sizes Amazon OpenSearch Service now extends in-place cluster volume size increases to volumes exceeding 3 TiB. With this enhancement, you can scale storage capacity across all volume sizes without requiring a blue/green deployment. Previously, you could perform volume increases up to 3 TiB on your clusters without a blue/green deployment. This release removes that limitation, making it easier for you to scale up quickly even beyond 3 TiB when required. Domains that already have a volume size above 3 TiB will require a blue/green deployment the first time a volume increase is made; subsequent volume increases will not require a blue/green deployment. Decreasing storage volume size, or making volume increases within short intervals, will still require a blue/green deployment. You can use the dry-run option to check whether your change requires a blue/green deployment. This feature is available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon OpenSearch Service is available. See here for a full list of our Regions. To learn more about Amazon OpenSearch Service configurations, visit the documentation page.

🆕 Amazon OpenSearch Service lets you scale volumes over 3 TiB in-place, simplifying growth without blue/green deployments. For smaller volumes, a blue/green deployment is needed initially. Available in all regions where OpenSearch Service operates.

Amazon OpenSearch Service introduces capacity optimized blue/green deployments Amazon OpenSearch Service now offers a Capacity Optimized option for blue/green deployments, ensuring domain updates can complete even when available instance capacity is less than required. Updates are performed in incremental batches, reducing the number of additional instances needed during the process. Amazon OpenSearch Service uses a blue/green deployment process when updating domains — creating an idle copy of the original environment, applying updates, and routing traffic to the new environment once complete. This minimizes downtime and preserves the original environment as a fallback. Until now, blue/green deployments required 100% instance capacity upfront. For example, for a cluster with 100 data nodes, another 100 nodes were needed to proceed. If sufficient capacity was unavailable, customers had to wait and retry later. Now, customers can choose between two deployment strategies. The default Full Swap option maintains current behavior, requiring full capacity upfront for the fastest deployment. The new Capacity Optimized option attempts a full capacity deployment first, but automatically falls back to batch deployment if capacity is insufficient. OpenSearch Service determines the appropriate batch size based on cluster size and available instances. Because updates are applied in batches, this option may take longer than a full-swap deployment. Customers can select their preferred option in the deployment configuration settings via the OpenSearch Service console or API. We recommend choosing the Capacity Optimized deployment option for clusters with 30 or more nodes. The Capacity Optimized option is available for all OpenSearch and Elasticsearch versions, across all AWS Commercial Regions where OpenSearch Service is available. See here for a full listing of our Regions. To learn more, visit the documentation page.

🆕 Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports Capacity Optimized blue/green deployments, allowing domain updates with insufficient capacity by applying changes in batches. This reduces extra instances and offers two strategies: Full Swap and Capacity Optimized.

Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now supports unified ingestion endpoint for OpenTelemetry data Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now supports a unified ingestion endpoint that can accept all three OpenTelemetry observability signals — logs, metrics, and traces — through a single pipeline. Previously, customers who wanted to ingest all three OpenTelemetry data types had to create and manage three separate pipelines, one for each signal type. With this launch, a single pipeline can now receive any combination of OpenTelemetry signals, simplifying pipeline architecture and reducing operational overhead. Customers can now build centralized observability pipelines that consolidate logs, metrics, and traces in one place, making it easier to correlate signals and gain a holistic view of application health. Teams operating at scale can reduce the number of pipelines they manage, lowering infrastructure costs and simplifying access control, monitoring, and lifecycle management. This also makes it easier to adopt OpenTelemetry incrementally as teams can begin with one signal type and add others over time without any pipeline reconfiguration. The unified ingestion endpoint for OpenTelemetry data is supported in all regions that Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion is currently available. Customers can get started by using the new unified OpenTelemetry source in their pipeline configuration via the AWS Management console or using the AWS CLI and point their OpenTelemetry clients to the new unified endpoint.

Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now supports Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus as a sink Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now supports Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus  as a sink, making it possible to build fully managed, end-to-end metrics ingestion pipelines without any custom forwarding infrastructure. With this launch, customers can now manage their entire metrics ingestion workflow using the same pipeline infrastructure they already use for logs and traces. Customers can now choose the right destination for each observability signal — sending logs and traces to Amazon OpenSearch Service for powerful full-text search, log analytics, and trace correlation, while routing metrics to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus for time-series storage and analysis. This flexibility allows teams to build purpose-fit observability pipelines that leverage the strengths of each service without compromising on data fidelity or analytical capability. Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion's built-in data transformation and enrichment capabilities allow customers to prepare and refine metrics before they land in Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, improving data quality and consistency. Once metrics are in Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, customers can query them using Prometheus Query Language to analyze trends, configure alerting rules to get notified when metrics cross defined thresholds, and visualize their data using Amazon Managed Grafana for rich, customizable views of infrastructure and application health. The feature is supported in all regions that Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion and  is currently https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/opensearch-service.html#opensearch-service-regions.

Amazon OpenSearch Service adds new insights for improved cluster stability Amazon OpenSearch Service has enhanced Cluster Insights with two new insights — Cluster Overload and Suboptimal Sharding Strategy. Suboptimal Sharding Strategy provides instant visibility into shard imbalances that cause uneven workload distribution, while Cluster Overload surfaces elevated cluster resource utilization that can lead to request throttling or rejections. Both insights come with details of affected resources along with actionable mitigation recommendations. Previously, identifying resource constraints and shard imbalances required manually correlating multiple metrics and logs, making it difficult to detect issues early. With these new insights, you can proactively monitor cluster health and take timely action. Suboptimal Sharding Strategy detects shard imbalances caused by indices with too few shards relative to the number of data nodes, or by shards carrying disproportionately large amounts of data compared to others. It identifies the root cause of uneven workload distribution and provides recommendations to help you achieve optimal shard distribution for improved query performance and resource utilization. Similarly, Cluster Overload helps you identify elevated resource utilization, including CPU, memory, disk I/O, disk throughput, and disk utilization that can potentially lead to request throttling or rejections. It also provides scale-up recommendations so you can take timely action to protect your critical workloads. These new insights are available at no additional cost for OpenSearch version 2.17 or later in all Regions where the OpenSearch UI is available. See the complete list of supported Regions here.

Amazon OpenSearch Serverless now supports Collection Groups Amazon OpenSearch Serverless now supports Collection Groups, a new capability that enables you to share OpenSearch Compute Units (OCUs) across collections with different AWS KMS keys. This new capability delivers enhanced cost optimization through a shared compute model that reduces overall OCU expenses while maintaining collection-level security and access controls. Additionally, Collection Groups introduce the ability to specify minimum OCU allocations alongside maximum OCU limits, allowing you to provision compute capacity upfront at startup for more predictable performance. Collection Groups are particularly valuable for multi-tenant workloads where different tenants require data encryption with separate KMS keys while still benefiting from shared compute resources. By grouping collections together, you can optimize OCU utilization across workloads, reduce costs through resource sharing, and maintain the security isolation required by different encryption keys. The minimum OCU setting ensures your collections have guaranteed baseline capacity from the moment they start, eliminating cold start delays and providing consistent performance for latency-sensitive applications. Collection groups are available in all regions where Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is currently https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/opensearch-service.html. To learn more about configuring and managing collection groups, visit the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/serverless-collection-groups.html.

Amazon OpenSearch Service now offers a new multi-tier storage Amazon OpenSearch Service now offers a new multi-tier storage option powered by OpenSearch Optimized Instances. This new architecture combines Amazon S3 cloud technology with local instance storage to deliver improved durability and performance. The new multi-tier architecture features two tiers: hot and warm. The hot tier handles frequently accessed data, while the warm tier leverages Amazon S3 for cost-effective storage of less frequently accessed data.  Until now, Amazon OpenSearch Service supported a warm tier through UltraWarm, which provided cost-effective storage for read-only data. The new warm tier powered by OpenSearch Optimized instances supports write operations, providing greater flexibility for data management. You can automate rotating data from hot to warm as it ages using Index State Management feature. For warm tier deployments, customers can use OpenSearch Optimized (OI2) instances (size ‘large’ to ‘8xlarge’), with addressable warm of up to five times the local cache size. tandard Managed Storage charges apply for warm data. The new Multi-tier experience is available on OpenSearch 3.3 and above. For more information please refer to the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/or1.html. New Multi-Tier experience on OI2 instance family is now available on Amazon OpenSearch Service across 12 regions globally: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Spain).  Please refer to the Amazon OpenSearch Service https://aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/pricing/ for pricing details
