OpenSearch Launches Long Term Support (LTS) program

A major turning point for the OpenSearch project is here! Following the exciting announcements at OpenSearchCon Europe, Lisa Briggs, Senior Director of Marketing at the Linux Foundation, sits down with Bianca Lewis, Executive Director of the OpenSearch Software Foundation, to dive deep into the newly launched Long-Term Support (LTS) program.

LTS is more than just a new feature — it’s a paradigm shift in what "open" truly means for the enterprise. Bianca and Lisa discuss how this program bridges the gap between open-source flexibility and the stability, security, and support requirements of large organizations.

In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ What LTS means for the future of OpenSearch.
✅ Why stability and security certifications are critical for enterprise adoption.
✅ How the LTS program provides 18+ months of support for key versions (2.19, 3.6, and beyond).
✅ The choice of accredited vendors for support with NO lock-in.
✅ How upstream contributions benefit the entire community.

Whether you're a developer looking for stability or an enterprise seeking a unified data AI infrastructure layer, this conversation reveals how OpenSearch is evolving to meet your needs.
