Hello, I'm new in using elastic search (well... and programming as well), and my boss created an instance @amazon and I'm not sure of how to use es from it, where should I look, here or amazon help (if outside, it's allowed to ask the link?) ? do the commands are different from the regular getting started that we have in the main website?

Apparently I already got connected to the instance hence: [https://postimg.cc/FkjHwsTw](https://postimg.cc/FkjHwsTw) , can someone please clarify things for me?

Thank you ain advance!

A good place to start are the [Elasticsearch docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs), like the [Elasticsearch Reference Documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/index.html), the [Elasticsearch Clients Documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html) and despite being aged a little already the [definitive guide to Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/index.html)
