Interesting. Three hours ago someone in our Ops team shared a link to "Open Distro for Elasticsearch" [1] and it's also featured on the AWS console login page.

Is this a very rushed reaction to it? Or is this related? I would really love to have a clarification of what's happening in that space.

How were you able to miss all the drama about AWS and ElasticSearch / Mongo / Nginx here on HN?

It turned out that with the open core and premium-service models, the original company might not be the only one providing paid services or development. Which was a bit of a surprise to those original devs.

Opendistro was announced by AWS a few weeks ago. It’s their fork of ES with security features and some of the XPack functionality included.

opendistro has this:

which has feature parity with the free version elastic just released afaict.

No it doesn't - for example LDAP/AD are paid feature in ES
