Elasticsearch and OpenSearch Migrations

Managing on-premises Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, or other search and analytics solutions is complicated, resource intensive, and expensive. In addition to providing managed open source Elasticsearch and Kibana (versions 1.5 to 7.10), OpenSearch, and OpenSearch Dashboards, Amazon OpenSearch Service includes a full range of advanced capabilities such as the scalable storage tier UltraWarm, fine-grained access control, anomaly detection, alerting, remote re-indexing, ML-backed search result ranking, trace analytics, and more.

Data Warehouse Migrations

Moving to a cloud data warehouse like Amazon Redshift liberates your analytics from limitations. You can run queries across petabytes of data in your data warehouse and extend into your data lake, what we call a “lake house” approach.
