OpenSearch host classes

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at February 18, 2025

The host class determines the computing power allocated for each host group with a specific role in the cluster. When you change the host class for a host group in the cluster, the configuration of all hosts previously created in this group changes accordingly. For more information about host groups, see Host roles.

The available storage size does not depend on the host class. For storage limitations, see Quotas and limits.

Available host classesAvailable host classes

Hosts in Managed Service for OpenSearch clusters are deployed on Yandex Compute Cloud VMs. You can create these VMs on any standard platform supported by Compute Cloud. To learn more about the platforms, see Platforms.

The full list of possible host group configurations on each platform is provided below.

Note

For clusters with hosts residing in the ru-central1-d availability zone, local SSD storage is not available if using the Intel Cascade Lake platform.

Configuration types:

  • s2, s3: Standard configurations with 4:1 RAM GB to vCPU ratio.
  • m2, m3: Configurations with an increased RAM GB to vCPU ratio (8:1). These configurations may be useful for clusters with higher cache requirements.
  • b3: Configuration with a guaranteed vCPU share under 100%. This host class is intended for test load, while the minimum recommended host configuration for production solutions is two vCPUs with a guaranteed share of 50%.
