The next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is now generally available

Today, AWS announced the general availability of the next generation of Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, a fully managed search and vector engine designed for customers building agents. The next generation of OpenSearch Serverless auto scales 20x faster than its predecessor and provisions resources in seconds to meet the demands of even the most unpredictable agentic workflows. With scale-to-zero and pay-per-usage pricing, customers can now save up to 60% compared to the cost of provisioning Opensearch clusters for peak loads.

The next generation of OpenSearch Serverless introduces complete decoupling of compute and storage through a new shared storage layer. This means customers can scale compute up and down independently, reducing costs during low-traffic periods while maintaining instant readiness for traffic spikes. To simplify network connectivity, OpenSearch Serverless now offers two resource-based endpoints - a collection level endpoint and a regional endpoint which makes multi-VPC and on-premise connectivity straightforward using standard VPC APIs. The next generation of OpenSearch Serverless also launches with native integrations with AI development platforms including Vercel and Kiro, enabling developers to provision search infrastructure directly from their development environment using natural language commands. OpenSearch Serverless is now also part of OpenSearch Agent Skills that allows you to bring OpenSearch capabilities to your agents when using popular coding platfroms like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex.

At GA, search and vector are the two available collection types. The next generation of OpenSearch Serverless is available today in all commercial AWS regions where Amazon OpenSearch Serverless is currently available.
