Some of the worst breaches of 2017-19 have been due to open ES clusters, some on AWS. This is a welcome change. I just spun our AWS ES cluster down in favor of BigQuery, but while I was setting it up security for it was a big chore, with defaults that are in no way sane. AWS EC2 does a great job at secure defaults for auth and firewalls, RDS even moreso. Why was ES left to wag in the wind out of the box?
