Amazon OpenSearch Serverless CDK Python project for Time Series usecase!

opensearch-serverless-timeseries-arch

This is an Amazon OpenSearch Serverless project for CDK development with Python.

The cdk.json file tells the CDK Toolkit how to execute your app.

This project is set up like a standard Python project. The initialization process also creates a virtualenv within this project, stored under the .venv directory. To create the virtualenv it assumes that there is a python3 (or python for Windows) executable in your path with access to the venv package. If for any reason the automatic creation of the virtualenv fails, you can create the virtualenv manually.

To manually create a virtualenv on MacOS and Linux:

$ python3 -m venv .venv

After the init process completes and the virtualenv is created, you can use the following step to activate your virtualenv.

$ source .venv/bin/activate

If you are a Windows platform, you would activate the virtualenv like this:

% .venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Once the virtualenv is activated, you can install the required dependencies.

(.venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Before synthesizing the CloudFormation, you should set approperly the cdk context configuration file, cdk.context.json.

For example:

{
  "opensearch_iam_user": {
    "user_name": "opss-user",
    "initial_password": "PassW0rd!"
  },
  "collection_name": "ts-demo"
}

At this point you can now synthesize the CloudFormation template for this code.

(.venv) $ export CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text)
(.venv) $ export CDK_DEFAULT_REGION=$(aws configure get region)
(.venv) $ cdk synth --all

Use cdk deploy command to create the stack shown above.

(.venv) $ cdk deploy --all

To add additional dependencies, for example other CDK libraries, just add them to your setup.py file and rerun the pip install -r requirements.txt command.

Clean Up

Delete the CloudFormation stack by running the below command.

(.venv) $ cdk destroy --force --all

Useful commands

  • cdk ls list all stacks in the app
  • cdk synth emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
  • cdk deploy deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
  • cdk diff compare deployed stack with current state
  • cdk docs open CDK documentation

Enjoy!

Run Test

Step 1: Login to AWS Web console with the OpenSearch IAM User

To access Amazon OpenSearch Serverless data-plane APIs and OpenSearch Dashboards from the browser, you need to login to AWS Web console with the IAM User that is created.

You can find the IAM User name and initial password in the cdk.context.json file.

  1. Sign into the Amazon Web console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ aws_sign_in_as_iam_user
  2. Change the password. aws_iam_user_change_password
  3. Check if successfuly logined.
    For example: opss-user login into the N. Virgina (us-east-1) region. aws_login_as_iam_user

Troubleshooting

  • Getting a 401 when trying to access OpenSearch serverless dashboard
    If you are on public access, and your IAM has the right permission but you still cannot access dashboard, check if you have enabled "Access to Opensearch Dashboards", which is disabled by default. Here is how:
    
     1. Go to OpenSearch -> Collections, click into your serverless collection.
     2. Scroll down to Network part, click Manage network access -> click into network policy name, choose edit, scroll to the very bottom and click "Enable access to OpenSearch Dashboards", put your filters in.
