The features of the open distro are not enough to compare to the Elastic offerings. I think most are smart enough to see through Amazon's "generosity" and know that they (Amazon) are not a bastion of OSS.
- noname120 7y agoCould you expand on the features that Open Distro misses and that Elastic offers?
- yehosef 7y agoYou can see the OSS and Free offerings at https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions. Real question is what are the Open Distro is offering: * Alerting - you can use ElasticAlert * Security - Search Guard * SQL - https://github.com/NLPchina/elasticsearch-sql https://github.com/NLPchina/elasticsearch-sql There very little reason (IMO) for users to a choose "Open Distro" except that it comes as an AWS image.
- noname120 7y agoMaybe a real reason is that it's precisely a distro which means it contains features and reasonable defaults so that users don't need to learn about them, install them, and configure them. Basically same debate as between Linux From Scratch and a full-featured distro such as Ubuntu.
