AWS OpenSearch Quick Start Guide from scratch on free tier with Dashboards!

I walk through how to create a new domain (cluster) for the OpenSearch service on the free tier of Amazon Web Services. I also show how to configure the domain so that you can connect to it from your local computer to build visualizations of sample datasets in OpenSearch Dashboards - the equivalent of a Kibana dashboard for an Elasticsearch Index.

Hey man! Beginner dev here. Thanks for the insightful video.

Good stuff. Much better than going through AWS's docs. The only problem, though, is that when I went live and tried to upload my own data using OpenSearch Dashboards, it did not seem so intuitive. Apparently, the OpenSearch Dashboards interface forces you into uploading a sample dataset, but it is not so straightforward to understand how to upload your own data, which is a bummer, really. But thanks for the content.

@bobhaczs5914 Configured out of the box could be kinesis data streams ---> Kinesis Data Firehose --> OpenSearch. Also looking at the AWS documentation which is rough.

Would love to see the video you mentioned about getting the data into OS

Very good. I was studying for DAS-C01 and this video helped me a lot. [pt-br]

Nice video, I created a test instance, but forgot to do the settings for t3, now when I do these settings it says disable autotune but couldn't find the autotune option.. deleted the index and created a t3 micro instance..

I am facing a problem when importing my own data to OpenSearch. There no option to add any data just an index pattern.

How to do LDAP configuration with opensearch, can we get eloberated vedio

[@stevebuonincontri6853]

very helpful

[@ramibecharalebfr]

I launched it locally on docker

[@andrewknoesen278]

Is it possible to build these dashboards with AWS CDK?

[@frankafriyie5519]

can you do this through quicksight?

[@reelingua]

what do you prefer, opesearch or elasticsearch cloud?

[@RyanHarris77]

They are based on the same codebase, but now ELK is closed source. Opensearch is a better long term choice imo.

[@ClaudioSW]

Is it possible to use this as production?

[@dissident1337]

Can't access the dashboard or anything.

[@prithvi561]

Same, did you fix it?

[@ramibecharalebfr]

How they fool you into paying

[@SA-cloud]

Sure, run it locally on Kubernetes to test and learn, but which company that you will work at is gonna run their prod env from your local docker?
