Summary

Logz.io announced its support for the OpenSearch project, a community-driven fork of the Elasticsearch and Kibana codebases, following Elastic's decision to shift these projects to a proprietary dual license. The move aims to ensure that these open-source technologies remain guided by community interests rather than commercial motives. Logz.io, in collaboration with AWS and the broader open-source community, is committed to maintaining, innovating, and enhancing these projects by developing new capabilities and fostering deeper visibility, scalability, and operability for OpenSearch (derived from Elasticsearch 7.10.2) and OpenSearch Dashboards (derived from Kibana 7.10.2). This initiative represents progress for the open-source community, emphasizing the strength and resilience of open-source philosophy and practices. The announcement is seen as an important step forward, and Logz.io invites interested parties to participate in this collaborative effort through GitHub.
