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.[2] The software started in 2021 as a fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana, with development led by Amazon Web Services.[3][4][2][5][6]

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).[7][8][4][2] Amazon intends to build an open community with many stakeholders.[2] (Currently only Amazon Web Services has maintainership status and write access to the source code repositories, though they invite pull requests from anyone.)[3] 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.[8][9][4][10]

OpenSearch

OpenSearch is a Lucene-based search engine that started as a fork of version 7.10.2 of the Elasticsearch service.[4][2] It has Elastic NV trademarks and telemetry removed. It is licensed under the Apache License, version 2,[2] without a Contributor License Agreement. The maintainers have made a commitment to remain completely compatible with Elasticsearch in its initial versions.[2][11]

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.[4][2][12]
