OpenSearch adds concrete snapshot features: searchable snapshots let queries run directly from S3/GCS/Azure without full restore and use caching and node roles; snapshot management (index management plugin) automates cron creation/deletion, retries and alerts; a hash prefix shard part setting spreads remote-store load to avoid throttling; a new shallow snapshot v2 makes snapshots coordination-free and zero-copy, cutting snapshot time from >1 hour for a 100-node 100k-partition cluster to under 10 seconds; cross-region repos enable simple DR.
