Welcome!

Why do you want 3 dedicated master nodes? And why 2 datanodes?  
Why not 3 nodes to start from, all equals first?

May be describe a bit more about your use case, the volume....

But in general, you just need to follow the documentation from [Installing Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch Guide [8.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html)

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance.

Did you look at [Cloud by Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/cloud), also available if needed from [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/Elasticsearch-Inc-Elasticsearch-Service-on-Elastic/B01N6YCISK), [Azure Marketplace](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/elastic.ec-azure?tab=Overview) and [Google Cloud Marketplace](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/endpoints/elasticsearch-service.gcpmarketplace.elastic.co)?

Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to **all features** , all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas, Maps UI, Alerting and built-in solutions named [Observability](https://www.elastic.co/observability), [Security](https://www.elastic.co/security), [Enterprise Search](https://www.elastic.co/enterprise-search) and what is coming next 🙂 ...
