Can the Opensearch sink be used with IAM authentication to send data to AWS Opensearch? I don’t see any references to use it in the the connector config. Or do I need to use the AWS Credential provider in the AWS SDK to authenticate to it. I’m running my connector on custom EKS deployment (not MSK Connect).

Hi Sayeed,
Currently the connector can only authenticate using username and password. What you can try is HTTP basic authentication for OpenSearch that seems to be supported by AWS - Fine-grained access control in Amazon OpenSearch Service - Amazon OpenSearch Service. This approach has some limitations, however, might be worth trying.
Hi Olena,
Thanks, I have been using the http method but it’s considered a secure way for my use case. I had a similar issue with debezium running in a helm deployment.
