Amazon OpenSearch Service supports 19 versions of Elasticsearch opensource, and 11 versions of OpenSearch.
End of Support dates for legacy Elasticsearch versions up to 6.7, Elasticsearch versions 7.1 through 7.8, OpenSearch versions from 1.0 through 1.2, and OpenSearch versions 2.3 through 2.9 available on Amazon OpenSearch Service, have been announced.
We recommend that customers running Elasticsearch versions upgrade to the latest OpenSearch versions.
All Elasticsearch versions will receive at least 12 months of Extended Support.
For OpenSearch versions running on Amazon OpenSearch Service, we will provide at least 12 months of Standard Support after the end of support date for the corresponding upstream open source OpenSearch version.
Upgrading your domain to the latest available OpenSearch version will help you derive maximum value out of OpenSearch Service.
Domains running versions under Extended Support will be charged an additional fee per normalized instance hour.
We add new capabilities across various vectors to the latest OpenSearch versions, which include new features, performance and resiliency improvements, and security improvements.
For any questions on Standard and Extended Support options, see the FAQs. For further questions, contact AWS Support.
