AOSSUS04-BP01 Consolidate OpenSearch Service domain environments
Reduce costs, improve resource utilization, and enhance data protection by consolidating development and test workloads into fewer OpenSearch Service domains with implemented security features.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Medium
Desired outcome: You consolidate development and test workloads into fewer OpenSearch Service domains, with security features implemented to protect data.
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Reduced costs and increased cost efficiency
-
Improved resource utilization and reduced waste
-
Enhanced ability to manage and optimize resources
-
Improved data protection and compliance due to security features
Implementation guidance
Combining multiple workloads into a smaller number of OpenSearch Service domains not only minimizes compute and storage waste but also contributes to a reduction in carbon emissions.
Additionally, you can use fine-grained access control to implement tight security controls over your data.
