2. In the **Domain Name** field, create a name for the OpenSearch domain.
3. In the **OpenSearch Version** field, select the OpenSearch version you are using.
4. Select your needed instance size from the **Data Instance Size** list box.
5. Enter the the instance count in the **Data Instance Count** field, and choose the correct zone(s) from the **Zone** list box.
6. Optionally, enter a key in the **Encryption Key (Optional)** field.
7. In the **Storage (In Gb)** field, enter the amount of storage needed.

10. Optionally, use the toggle switch to **Enable UltraWarm data nodes** (nodes that are optimized for storing large volumes of data cost-effectively). When this option is enabled, additional fields display. Select a **Warm Instance type**, enter **Number of warm data nodes**, and **Enable Cold Storage** as your application requires.<br>

11. Click **Submit**. The OpenSearch domain is created.

## Creating an OpenSearch domain without EBS storage

To create an OpenSearch without EBS storage, follow the steps to [create an OpenSearch domain](#creating-an-opensearch-domain). In the **Data Instance Size** list box, select **Other**, and enter a storage type instance, For example, `i3.2xlarge.search`. Complete the remaining steps and click **Submit**.
