The main objective of the ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) is to aggregate logs. However, with the increased usage of ELK and Kubernetes as a pairing the solution can go beyond the aggregation of standard logs and include monitoring and analysis of Kubernetes telemetry data. Therefore, more users are looking at deploying the ELK stack on Kubernetes. Yet, deploying the ELK stack on Kubernetes can be a complex task but with the assistance of Helm charts, the process is much simpler.

OpenSearch is an open-source distributed search and analytics engine created for scalability, performance, and ease of use. It is built on Apache Lucene and is a fork of Elasticsearch, designed in response to concerns about Elastic's decision to move away from open-source licensing for certain features in Elasticsearch and Kibana.

The ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) stack’s main objective is to aggregate logs, but the vastly popular open-source project has numerous uses alongside aggregating logs. ELK can easily integrate with Kubernetes and is a common solution that enables users to gather, store, and examine Kubernetes telemetry data. However, with the continual rise of micro-service architecture, users are searching for an improved method of aggregating and searching through logs for debugging purposes.
