Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports data streams with Index State Management (ISM), offering automatic management of time series data lifecycles. This feature aims to enhance performance and reduce costs by distributing data across multiple indices and automating rollover, retention, and storage tiering policies.

MyDataWork POV — Efficient log management with Amazon OpenSearch Service data streams is a noteworthy refinement for organizations already entrenched in AWS ecosystems, especially those grappling with time series data. For smaller shops or those not yet committed to AWS, it may feel like a niche solution. The real beneficiaries are the DevOps teams looking for seamless integration with existing AWS services, while others may find the AWS lock-in less appealing.
