FAQ
What is OpenSearch?
It is a secure search and analytics suite. OpenSearch offers a distributed storage engine, a content indexing and search engine, and an analytics engine. This tool is simple to use, and quick to deploy. It is particularly well-suited to real-time structured data mining uses.
What is Managed Databases for OpenSearch?
It is a Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) solution offered on our Public Cloud. We integrate the OpenSearch database management system into one or more of our Public Cloud instances and provide it as a turn-key service. The goal of this solution is to save you time by allowing you to focus on building applications rather than managing your database.
Can I install OpenSearch on Public Cloud instances myself?
You can do this, provided that you download and obtain the licence for the correct version of the engine. However, you will then need to manage and maintain the database yourself; you will not benefit from the advantages we provide with our service.
When should OpenSearch be used rather than Apache SolR?
Both solutions offer the same level of performance in terms of indexing speed and response time. OpenSearch provides more accessible documentation and scalability, so users can scale up quickly if they need to. Because of its APIs, OpenSearch will also be easier to implement. On the other hand, Apache SolR is best-suited to requirements for indexing high volumes of static and unstructured data.
What is the difference between OpenSearch and Elasticsearch?
The OpenSearch project created by AWS is a community-based Elasticsearch and Kibana fork, developed to respond to the licence changes applied by Elastic. OpenSearch is an open-source, community-managed search and analytics solution based on Elasticsearch 7.10.2 and Kibana 7.10.2. OpenSearch and its software are released under the Apache version 2.0 (ALv2) licence.
What is the difference between the Essential, Business and Enterprise service options?
They each represent a different service level on the Public Cloud. Each option includes variable features that suit different applications, including the cluster size, the number of nodes, the network, scalability, or high availability.
Is the data stored in Managed Databases for OpenSearch shared with third parties?
No. You retain complete control over your data. Your service runs on one or more Public Cloud instances with a dedicated storage space.
Can I migrate to nodes with a higher capacity?
Yes. As your RAM or storage requirements increase, you can move to nodes with a higher capacity to better meet your needs. However, you cannot revert to a lower-capacity node.
Is Managed Databases for OpenSearch integrated into the Public Cloud?
It can be used as a resource, or as part of a Public Cloud project. You can manage this from the OVHcloud Control Panel.
Can I connect Managed Databases for OpenSearch to my Bare Metal server?
Yes, you can do this via a public or private network. However, if you would like to deploy OpenSearch software on your Bare Metal server, you will need to do this yourself, and then manage and administer your database yourself.
