AWS opensearch-service documentation change
Summary
Restructured version support documentation, separated OpenSearch and Elasticsearch version listings, added extended support policy details, and clarified pricing calculations
Security assessment
Mentions security updates in standard support and critical security fixes in extended support, but no specific vulnerability or security incident is addressed. The change primarily documents existing support policies.

Extended support charges are applied automatically when a domain is running a version for which standard support has ended.

NIH is computed as a factor of the instance size (e.g., medium, large), and the number of instance hours. For example, if you are running an m7g.medium.search instance for 24 hours in the US East (North Virginia) Region, which is priced at $0.068/Instance hour (on-demand), you will typically pay $1.632 ($0.068x24).
