Why is anyone using AWS Elasticsearch anyway? AWS is a first-mover and is great when you need managed services not available elsewhere, but it's usually not the best product.
Since most vendors have finally caught on to the demand for managed offerings, I don't see much reason to go with AWS for services like Elasticsearch. The cloud hosting plans directly from Elastic are much better. Easier to manage, same cost, better performance, and more reliable. And support is included.
- philliphaydon 7y agoPeople like myself don’t want to manage 50 services from 50 vendors. We want to manage it all in 1 place.
- manigandham 7y agoIs it actually 50 services? Or a few that come with a much better experience? The trade-off seems clearly worth it when not exaggerated.
- icheishvili 7y agoAWS managed services are usually subpar. We run our own ES clusters for this very reason.
