A comprehensive guide to setup and connect self-managed dashboards with Amazon OpenSearch domain

[madhankb]

Describe the blog post your would like to write
In our service, Blue-Green deployment often results in downtime for managed service dashboards, impacting availability. Given the critical reliance of our customers on these dashboards for log analytics and other use cases, I've devised a workaround. By setting up self-managed dashboards and connecting them with the managed service domain, downtime issues during Blue-Green deployment are effectively mitigated. This guide walks through the setup process for self-managed dashboards, covering options such as no authentication, basic authentication, and SAML authentication. Customer to follow along with this blog to implement the solution at their end and ensure uninterrupted access to dashboards.

Hi @madhankb !

This doesn't quite read like a blog but rather a technical tutorial. Is there a way we could incorporate these into a longer narrative that has room for each section?

We can also reach out to @hdhalter to see if she could use a quick tutorial to post on some of these things in the documentation site.

Any particular preference?

[madhankb]

I concur! It would be fantastic if we have the ability to post these on the OpenSearch documentation site.

@nateynateynate I can also write up something like a blog along with the guide/steps to implement like this - https://quip-amazon.com/HtNeAnuOkSpT/Connecting-Standalone-Opensearch-Dashboards-with-Managed-Service-Opensearch-through-Basic-and-SAML-Authentication.
Let me know if you don't have access to the above link
