Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion now supports Confluent as a source, allowing seamless integration between both platforms. This feature leverages PrivateLink and Elastic Network Interfaces (xENIs) to connect private third-party services like Confluent Cloud Enterprise clusters with private first-party services like an OpenSearch domain. The new Confluent Cloud blueprint in OpenSearch Ingestion enables users to easily utilize private networking in their OpenSearch/Confluent Cloud integration, supporting topics backed by Schema Registry and providing hands-free capacity management. This integration represents a step forward in allowing Confluent Cloud, which features more than 80 fully managed connectors to other systems, to serve as the nexus of ingestion for your OpenSearch implementation.
