OR1, the OpenSearch Optimized Instance family, now doubles the max allowed storage per instance. OR1 also expands availability to four additional regions- Canada Central, EU (London), and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Seoul). OR1 delivers up to 30% price-performance improvement over existing instances (based on internal benchmarks), and uses Amazon S3 to provide 11 9s of durability. The new OR1 instances are best suited for indexing-heavy workloads, and offers better indexing performance compared to the existing memory optimized instances available on OpenSearch Service.ENnbsp;

OR1 enables customers to economically and reliably scale their OpenSearch deployments without compromising the interactive analytics experience they expect. Each OR1 instance is provisioned with compute, local instance storage for caching, and remote Amazon S3-based managed storage. OR1 offers pay-as-you-go pricing and reserved instances, with a simple hourly rate for the instance, local instance storage, as well as managed storage provisioned. OR1 instances come in sizes ‘medium’ through ‘16xlarge’, and offer compute, memory, and storage flexibility. OR1 instances support OpenSearch versions 2.11 and above. Please refer to the Amazon OpenSearch Service pricing page for pricing details. Information on new max allowed storage limits can be found in documentation.

OR1 instance family is now available on Amazon OpenSearch Service across 4 more regions: Canada Central, Europe (London), and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Seoul).
