Getting started OpenSearch includes a data store and search engine, a visualization and user interface, and a library of plugins you can use to tailor your tools to your requirements.

To configure your first OpenSearch cluster, you can download the OpenSearch components in a variety of distributions or start with the official Docker Image.
