This site contains the technical documentation for [OpenSearch](https://opensearch.org/), the Apache 2.0-licensed search, analytics, and visualization suite with advanced security, alerting, SQL support, automated index management, deep performance analysis, and more.
To learn more, see [Install and configure OpenSearch]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/install/) and [Install and configure OpenSearch Dashboards]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/dashboards/install/).
OpenSearch includes a demo configuration so that you can get up and running quickly, but before using OpenSearch in a production environment, you must [configure the security plugin manually]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/security-plugin/configuration/index/): your own certificates, your own authentication method, your own users, and your own passwords.
[OpenSearch](https://opensearch.org) is supported by Amazon Web Services. All components are available under the [Apache License, Version 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html) on [GitHub](https://github.com/opensearch-project/).
The project welcomes GitHub issues, bug fixes, features, plugins, documentation---anything at all. To get involved, see [Contributing](https://opensearch.org/source.html) on the OpenSearch website.
