Organize OpenSearch databases clusters with tags to group and filter databases or create monitoring alert policies for multiple databases at once.

Cluster Management

Increase the size of your database cluster to accommodate your data needs.
Change a cluster’s regional datacenter.
Fork a database cluster to create a new cluster from an existing cluster based on a specific point in time.
Recover from accidental data loss by manually restoring a OpenSearch database cluster from backups.
Destroy a database cluster to permanently and irreversibly destroy the cluster, its contents, and its automated backups.

Cluster Infrastructure
