# Migrating from Open Distro Data Prepper

Beginning with Data Prepper 1.1, there is only one distribution of Data Prepper: OpenSearch Data Prepper. This document helps existing users migrate from the Open Distro Data Prepper to OpenSearch Data Prepper.

## Change your pipeline configuration

The `elasticsearch` sink has changed to `opensearch`. Therefore, change your existing pipeline to use the `opensearch` plugin instead of `elasticsearch`.

While the Data Prepper plugin is titled `opensearch`, it remains compatible with Open Distro and ElasticSearch 7.x.

## Update Docker image

In your Data Prepper Docker configuration, adjust `amazon/opendistro-for-elasticsearch-data-prepper` to `opensearchproject/data-prepper`. This change will download the latest Data Prepper Docker image.
