I want to be clear here. I tried to replace Elastic search with OpenSearch. However, besides it's just s fork I couldn't run in. OpenSearch requires a lot of configurations that basically are automatic on ElasticSearch. I had spent so many time trying to fix bugs just to run in on my local machine that made just give up and keep with ElasticSearch.

Given that this is Amazon's fork of ES, and given the terrible experience I've had in the past trying to run Amazon stuff locally, I do wonder if this is somewhat intentional. Although a more reasonable explanation is probably just that easy config is low on amazon's priority list since they want you using their managed version.

Opensearch is Elasticsearch with OpenDistro..

Its not “more” or “less” configuration.

If you mean “paid elasticsearch cloud” is easier to use - I would agree because its well.. a paid service.

After maintaining 27 OSS ES clusters that had to be migrated to OS because OSS ES does not exist anymore, you pretty much have no other option than to use OS, even for security patches only..

This may have been improved recently. I downloaded and ran it on my Linux laptop and it worked instantly. the config file was self-documenting.
