Why is this happening?ResolutionAmazon OpenSearch Service uses blue/green deployments to make most cluster configuration changes. During this process, OpenSearch Service provisions a new cluster with the specified number of nodes, copying the entire dataset over from the existing cluster. When the data migration is complete, OpenSearch Service terminates the existing cluster, and the number of nodes returns to normal.In most cases, the following changes don't trigger a blue/green deployment:Access policiesAutomated snapshot hourEnabling auto-tune or disabling auto-tune without rolling back changesIf your domain has dedicated master nodes, changing the data node or UltraWarm node countFor more information about configuration changes and blue/green deployment, see Making configuration changes in OpenSearch Service.Related informationCreating and managing Amazon OpenSearch Service domainsFollow"
