AWS launches NextGen OpenSearch Serverless with scale-to-zero capabilities

AWS has introduced a new generation of its OpenSearch Serverless offering, dubbed NextGen, which allows for scaling down to zero compute units when not in use. This contrasts with the previous Classic version, which had a fixed minimum of 2 OCUs for both indexing and search, leading to potential overpayment for intermittent workloads. NextGen offers more granular control over indexing and search capacity, with faster scaling capabilities, though initial queries after scaling from zero may experience higher latency. Migrating from Classic to NextGen requires creating a new collection and copying data, as there is no in-place upgrade path. AI

IMPACT This update offers potential cost savings for users with intermittent workloads on OpenSearch Serverless, impacting how AI/ML applications manage their data infrastructure.
