Description

The centralised Elasticsearch service has already been running at CERN for over 6 years, providing the search and analytics engine for numerous CERN users, supporting various aspects of the High Energy Physics community. The service has been based on the open-source version of Elasticsearch, surrounded by a set of external open-source plugins offering security, multi-tenancy, extra visualization types and more. Motivated by the recent license change of Elasticsearch and by the streamlined deployment of the feature-rich OpenSearch project as a 100% open-source environment, the decision was taken to migrate the service at CERN towards it. This presentation covers the motivation, design and implementation of this change, the current state and the future plans of the service.
