Workload architecture - Amazon OpenSearch Service Lens

Workload architecture

AOSREL02: How do you provide high availability for your OpenSearch Service domain?

To protect your OpenSearch Service domain during a service disruption, you can deploy nodes across two or three Availability Zones within the same Region. This configuration, known as Multi-AZ, leverages isolated locations called Availability Zones within each AWS Region. You can also choose to deploy OpenSearch with Multi-AZ with Standby deployment to protect against infrastructure failures. Enabling Multi-AZ with Standby deployment increases the availability of your domain to 99.99%.

AOSREL03: How do you monitor quotas and limits in your OpenSearch Service domain?

Cloud providers have built-in usage constraints that prevent excessive resource utilization. Understanding and monitoring these quotas is essential to prevent scaling issues and ensure uninterrupted service operations.

AOSREL04: How do you recover your OpenSearch Service domains from outages?

Disaster recovery involves plans and processes to resume operations and restore data in the aftermath of a disruptive event or catastrophe. Having a disaster recovery plan is important to recover from any disruptions to the OpenSearch domain.

AOSREL05: How do you use reliable instances for your production search workloads?

Business-critical workloads demand enough resources in production environments to handle reliability, stability, and high performance. In contrast, dev environments can function on minimal resources without impacting critical operations.
