Migrate external OpenSearch or Elasticsearch snapshots Limited availability

Migrate an existing OpenSearch or Elasticsearch® snapshot to Aiven for OpenSearch® with minimal downtime and data integrity. The migration process consists of three key phases:

  • Data migration: Restore your data from external snapshots stored on supported platforms like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage (GCS), Microsoft Azure, or other S3-compatible services.

  • Index State Management (ISM) : Migrate ISM policies to maintain consistent index lifecycle management, including tasks like index rollover, retention, and deletion.

  • Security configurations: Migrate user roles, permissions, and access controls to preserve security settings and ensure a smooth user experience after migration.

    note

    A migration script is available for migrating Opendistro security configurations.
