Because I’m good at stirring up trouble… https://www.techrepublic.com/google-amp/article/opensearch-aws-rolls-out-its-open-source-elasticsearch-fork/

As you may know, AWS have forked the last FOSS Elasticsearch (7.10 I think). They’ve announced that they’re calling it OpenSearch. It’s still only in alpha stage and they won’t have a production-ready release for months yet, but it is interesting to keep notes on.

Elastic are responsible for the vast majority of commits in Elasticsearch, so I’m somewhat skeptical about a fork, but I think there is a lot of anger at Elastic and a lot of support for OpenSearch, so who knows.

I don’t think there’s anything to do at this stage, but just wanted to share the information for people
