Vertically resize an OpenSearch cluster to increase or decrease the memory and OCPU resources for the cluster's leader nodes, data nodes, and OpenSearch Dashboard nodes. This form of scaling lets you to adjust the performance of OpenSearch clusters.
Before you resize a cluster, review Limitations and Considerations.
You can adjust all vertical resize settings during the same vertical resize operation, except for the data node storage setting. You can adjust the data node storage setting only during a vertical resize operation in which no other settings are being changed.
When you resize a cluster, the cluster's search functionality is in read-only mode until the resize operation is complete. See Cluster Patching and Resize Operations. This applies to all vertical and horizontal resize operations, except the operation to adjust the data node storage. When you adjust the storage for a data node during the resize operation, the search functionality stays in read/write mode.
