Hi Team,  
Could you please explain more on AWS (S3, EC2, ELB, Billing, etc.) as a data source not supported in Open source license version of elasticsearch mentioned in this page.  
[https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)

What I wanted to know is will we be able to ingest data from an ec2 machine using ES python clients to a self managed elasticsearch cluster which has an Open source elasticsearch service installed

@Stephy_Jacob yes, you can still ingest AWS data into OSS Elasticsearch. The AWS modules for Beats (like [this one for Filebeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.6/filebeat-module-aws.html)) are what is licensed. However, they're licensed at the Basic level, which is **free forever**.

The Beats modules are pretty handy in that they do all the collection, parsing, data mapping, indexing, and even build visualizations and dashboards. If you don't have a restriction for OSS-only, I'd give them a whirl.
