Okay... and what's the difference here from Open Distro for ElasticSearch? I guess it's just a rebranding, isn't it?

OpenDistro for ES is the surrounding tools for ES => plugins, index-state-management, basically a suite clone of ES Enterprise offerings (X-pack) because AWS can't ship AWS ES with X-Pack.

OpenSearch is the ES (core) itself.

If I'm not mistaken.

Open Distro for ElasticSearch was not a fork rather an Apache 2.0-licensed distribution of Elasticsearch enhanced with enterprise security, alerting, SQL etc... OpenSearch is a community-driven, open source search and analytics suite derived from Apache 2.0 licensed Elasticsearch 7.10.2 & Kibana 7.10.2.
