Today, we announce the general availability of OpenSearch version 2.15 in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Search with OpenSearch, along with several other significant improvements. With this update, OCI Search with OpenSearch supports the following key use cases:
Since the launch in 2022 of our fully managed OpenSearch service in OCI as an alternative to Elasticsearch, customers have enthusiastically used its capabilities for in-app semantic search, log analytics, observability, and security monitoring. With version 2.11, we introduced features including semantic search, vector search, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), allowing search interactions to become more natural, whether for text or images.
Now, let’s explore together the features introduced by OpenSearch version 2.15. We’ve made significant improvements in the performance, efficiency, and resiliency, but more importantly, OpenSearch v2.15 elevates the potential of your search with groundbreaking AI and machine learning (ML) capabilities on OCI.
One of the major challenges of integrating AI and ML with OpenSearch has been the need to build custom middleware to connect ML models with the search engine. With OpenSearch 2.15, we’re removing these barriers and opening a new range of use cases, specifically addressing AI and ML needs. You can now create AI integrations directly within OpenSearch with minimal effort, making advanced ML capabilities more accessible and powerful.
This release strengthens OCI Search with OpenSearch integration with other OCI services, such as OCI Data Science, OCI Generative AI and OCI Generative AI Agents, offering a cohesive and integrated solution for advanced AI workflows.
The latest version offers the following AI and ML features:
pretrained models for common ML tasks, such as text classification, sentiment analysis, and entity recognition, which were previously complex to implement.
Pretrained models integration: UseThese AI advancements make it possible for you to create smarter, more responsive search applications, whether for enhanced search relevancy, anomaly detection in logs, or rich AI-powered interactions.
We’re also releasing the following features in OCI Search with OpenSearch:
With these additional features, OCI Search with OpenSearch continues to support large-scale and distributed environments while providing the tools needed for effective monitoring and observability. This upgrade comes at no extra charge. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure maintains simple, transparent pricing, based on the number of nodes rather than the number of cores, unlike other hyperscalers.
