Course Outline

Achieving Sovereignty in Open-Source Search and Analytics

  • Impact of Elastic license changes and subsequent forks.
  • Feature parity between OpenSearch and Elasticsearch in 2025-2026.
  • Use cases: enterprise search, log analytics, SIEM, and observability.

Cluster Architecture

  • Node roles: master, data, coordinating, and ingest nodes.
  • Security plugin: TLS for inter-node communication, certificates, and PKI.
  • Preventing split-brain scenarios using discovery.seed_hosts and minimum master nodes settings.

Data Ingestion

  • REST API indexing, bulk loading, and mapping definitions.
  • Utilizing Beats, Fluent Bit, and Logstash pipelines.
  • Employing the OpenTelemetry Collector for traces and metrics.

Search and Dashboards

  • Query DSL: match, term, range, aggregations, and nested fields.
  • Creating visualizations and dashboards in OpenSearch Dashboards.
  • SIEM use cases: defining alert rules and detecting anomalies.

Index Management

  • Index Lifecycle Management (ILM): rollover, shrinking, and deletion.
  • Implementing hot-warm-cold data architecture.
  • Optimizing mappings and text analysis.

Security and Access Control

  • RBAC implementation with users, roles, and tenants.
  • Authentication via SAML and OpenID Connect.
  • Document-level security and field masking.

Backup and Recovery

  • Configuring snapshot repositories for MinIO, S3, or NFS.
  • Automating snapshots using Curator and ISM.
  • Restoring specific indices and establishing cluster-wide disaster recovery.

Requirements

  • Understanding of search engines and inverted indexes.
  • Experience with REST APIs and JSON.
  • Basic Linux administration skills: systemd, logs, and packages.

Target Audience

  • Search and log analytics engineers.
  • Teams migrating away from managed Elasticsearch or Splunk solutions.
  • Security analysts constructing sovereign SIEM backends.
