SageMaker Unified Studio now teams up with OpenSearch — analyze your search data in one place!

Hi, I'm Shii-chan! Today I've got a nice update for Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio to share with you.

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

What was announced?

According to AWS What's New, Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports Amazon OpenSearch as a data source. That means you can query and analyze your search and log analytics data directly alongside your other data assets. You can combine it with existing sources like Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, and relational databases, all within a single, governed environment.

The story so far

Up until now, SageMaker Unified Studio could work with sources like Redshift, S3, and relational databases, but your OpenSearch search and log analytics data lived somewhere else. If you wanted to join application logs and metrics with transactional data, you had to hop between different tools, which added friction to every analysis.

What changes

With OpenSearch joining the list of supported data sources, there's a lot more you can do:

  • You can query and analyze OpenSearch's search and log analytics data directly alongside your other data assets
  • You can combine operational search data in OpenSearch with data from Redshift, S3, and relational databases
  • You can join application logs and metrics from OpenSearch with transactional data to better understand system performance and user behavior
  • Data engineers and analysts can build pipelines that bring in real-time search and analytics data without switching between tools

If you've been wanting to line up your operational or search logs against the rest of your business data, this integration should make your day.

Dive Deep

Getting started is simple: add an Amazon OpenSearch connection from your project's data section. Once connected, OpenSearch data shows up in the data explorer right alongside your other project data.

You can access it through any of the following:

  • Query editor
  • Notebooks
  • Visual ETL jobs

This support is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio is available, with the exact list of supported regions documented on AWS's official docs.

Wrap-up

Here's a quick recap of this update:

  • SageMaker Unified Studio now supports Amazon OpenSearch as a new data source
  • You can combine it with Redshift, S3, and relational database data in a single environment
  • OpenSearch data is accessible through the query editor, notebooks, and visual ETL jobs
  • Getting started just takes adding a connection from your project's data section

This update is a great fit for data engineers and analysts who want to bring search and log analytics data together with the rest of their business data!
