# Migrating from Open Distro

Existing users can migrate from the Open Distro Data Prepper to OpenSearch Data Prepper. Beginning with Data Prepper version 1.1, there is only one distribution of 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.
