AWS OpenSearch | Creating an OpenSearch domain within a VPC and accessing it using Proxy API

This video demonstrates how to create an OpenSearch domain from scratch and secure it within a VPC.
This also provisions a Lambda and API gateway API to access the Kibana dashaboard.

Thanks you so much, this is what I was looking for..the way to access OS within VPC

[sundaraaj]

Thanks for the video, it was useful. Would you share some details or post a video on AWS DMS target endpoint as OpenSearch creations, as it involves user role mapping.

Thank you for the tutorial. I am getting this error though:

"errorMessage": "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'upper'",
"errorType": "AttributeError",
"stackTrace": [
" File \"/var/task/lambda_function.py\", line 95, in lambda_handler\n 'method': method.upper(), \n"

I have got error:
OpenSearch Dashboards did not load properly. Check the server output for more information.

Great content, but the audio is too low

Once the domain and the indexes are created, shouldn't that lambda proxy function be removed? I mean maybe change it in a way that it'll only expose the search api that way you can hide it behind an auth provider... otherwise the whole thing would just be publicly available for everyone. I'm not much of an expert on this that's why I'm writing this comment trying to get some guidance on the matter. What do you think?

The api gateway gave me this error "Missing Authentication Token" when no query parameters were given, with any query string the gateway gave this root cause error type: "index_not_found_exception",

[vladgursky]

Very interested method to replace additional instances with reverse proxy to services on private networks with Lambda Proxy.

[benny]

pls do make a video also about creating a domain with public access and how to stream the logs to opensearch using a lambda function and visualize it in kibana dashboard, it will be more helpful if you do.
Thanks in advance

Good solution to access opensearch dashboard. Any ways to provide authentication with the dashboard? With current configuration, it is using lambda role.

[arunverma]

Very Helpful. Try hard finally was able to get with <Staged API Gateway

[sapnokasahar]

I have done all same exact still I have got "Internal server error"

[philippephilippe]

I am having error for {missing Authentication Token} when hitting API URL. did anyone have same issue?

[yashgangrade]

Getting Internal server error. In the lambda handler event is coming as empty checked in CloudWatch logs

[tientraninh]

Can i use internal user database to login the dashboard?

You just save my so much time, I have been looking this for a week. Thanks a lot. Keep the good job and your video are well explained.

[softwaredevelopmentideas]

If you do same witch cdk, that would be nice too :)

[tsandler]

Hello! great video and well explained, but I have the following doubt: doing this I am removing network protection from my dashboard and it becomes public, or do am I missing something? What are the benefits of doing this instead of removing the VPC from my open search domain directly? Thank you!

Excellent Video for OpenSearch with VPC

Hey
I followed all the steps but in the last step when I used my API gateway url, it says “OpenSearch Dashboards did not load properly. Check the server output for more information.”
