AWS Elasticsearch to AWS Opensearch migration

Question

Hi All, I am looking to move my  AWS elasticsearch cluster to AWS Opensearch cluster. Now all the documentations I have come across suggest editing the elasticsearch.yml to take the snapshot on s3 bucket and then resotre the snapshot on opensearch bucket. However as there is no way to access the elastic search nodes , I am not sure how to access and edit the elasticsearch.yml file. Is there a step by step guide which explains how to migrate ?

Accepted Answer

Hi,

AWS has a detailed documentation about upgrade paths available & during an version upgrade, snapshots are taken as a part of the upgrade process [1]

To configure manual S3 snapshots,  you can set it via Kibana UI [2] since elasticsearch.yml file is not accessible / editable.
