Today, we announce end of Standard Support and Extended Support timelines for legacy Elasticsearch versions and OpenSearch Versions. Standard support ends on Nov 7, 2025, for legacy Elasticsearch versions up to 6.7, Elasticsearch versions 7.1 through 7.8, OpenSearch versions from 1.0 through 1.2, and OpenSearch versions 2.0 through 2.9. With extended support, for an incremental flat fee over regular instance pricing, you continue to get critical security updates beyond end of standard support. For more information, see this blog.
All Elasticsearch versions will receive at least 12 months of extended support with Elasticsearch v5.6 receiving 36 months of extended support. OpenSearch versions running on OpenSearch Service, will get at least 12 months of standard support after end of support date for corresponding upstream open-source OpenSearch version, or 12 months of standard support after release of next minor version on OpenSearch Service, whichever is longer. For detailed extended support timelines by version, please see the documentation. When you are running a version in extended support, you will be charged an additional flat fee per Normalized Instance Hour (NIH) which is ¥ 0.0432 /NIH for China (Ningxia) Region and ¥ 0.0603/NIH for China (Beijing) Region. NIH is computed as a factor of the instance size (e.g. medium, large), and number of instance hours. For more information on extended support charges, please see the pricing page.
End of support and extended support dates are applicable to all OpenSearch Service clusters running OpenSearch or Elasticsearch versions, in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
