OpenSearch is a family of software consisting of a search engine (also named OpenSearch), and OpenSearch Dashboards, a data visualization dashboard for that search engine.[1] The software started in 2021 as a fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana, with development led by Amazon Web Services.[2][3][1][4][5]

History[]

The project was created after Elastic NV changed the license of new versions of this software away from the open-source Apache License in favour of the Server Side Public License (SSPL).[6][7][3][1] Amazon intends to build an open community with many stakeholders.[1] (Currently only Amazon Web Services has maintainership status and write access to the source code repositories, though they invite pull requests from anyone.)[2] Other companies such as Logz.io, CrateDB, Red Hat and others have also announced an interest in building or joining a community to continue using and maintaining this open-source software.[7][8][3][9]

OpenSearch[]

OpenSearch is a Lucene-based search engine that started as a fork of version 7.10.2 of the Elasticsearch service.[3][1] It has Elastic NV Intellectual property and telemetry removed, and is licensed under the Apache License, version 2.[1] The maintainers have made a commitment to remain completely compatible with Elasticsearch in its initial versions.[1]

OpenSearch Dashboards[]

OpenSearch Dashboards started as a fork of version 7.10.2 of Elastic's Kibana software, and is also under the Apache License, version 2.[3][1][10]
