AWS hands OpenSearch to the Linux Foundation
Monday September 16, 2024. 09:00 AM , from InfoWorld
Amazon Web Services is transferring its OpenSearch open-source project to the Linux Foundation, which has launched the OpenSearch Software Foundation to support the project and its search and analytics software.
The announcement was made September 16. An open-source fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana, OpenSearch now becomes part of the Linux Foundation family of open source projects. OpenSearch is used by developers around the world to build search, analytics, observability, and vector database applications, to the tune of more than 700 million downloads, the Linux Foundation said. The OpenSearch Software Foundation will work with community maintainers and developers and founding member organizations to support the continued growth of OpenSearch. Nandini Ramini, vice president of search and cloud operations at AWS, said that OpenSearch would benefit from vendor-neutral support. “By transferring OpenSearch to the Linux Foundation, we are setting the project and its community up for its next stage of growth,” Ramini said in a published statement. “With vendor-neutral governance that invites greater collaboration, along with programming and operational resources to further nurture the community, we look forward to working collaboratively with this new foundation to ensure everyone can continue to benefit from OpenSearch,” she said. The OpenSearch Software Foundation will focus on supporting OpenSearch as it continues to be adopted by organizations to power business-critical workloads, the Linux Foundation said. Support for the OpenSearch Software Foundation is being provided by premier members AWS and Uber and general members Aiven, Aryn, Canonical, Eliatra, Graylog, NetApp Instaclustr, and Portal26. The OpenSearch Project has been organized as an open technical project within the Linux Foundation, overseen by a technical steering committee. More information about OpenSearch is available at the project website and at the project repo on GitHub.
