How can I use Kibana Canvas in AWS managed ElasticSearch.  
I could not find it in 7.10.2.  
No such feature in Opensearch 1..0 as well.  
I do not want to self host ES/Kibana

Hi @Niteesh_Hegde Welcome to the Community.

Canvas does not exist on AWS Managed Elasticsearch now Called Open Search.

That It's because it is a complete fork of the official distribution of Elasticsearch.

There are many differences between the official elastic cloud and the AWS ES/OS.

In short if you want to leverage all the features with the best support and best experience you should give Elastic Cloud a try.

Canvas will also not work with opensearch, as it does not contain the full functionality of Elasticsearch and Kibana.
