    This configuration creates a secure OpenSearch domain with encryption both in transit (between nodes) and at rest, zonal fault tolerance, and sufficient storage performance using `gp3` volumes. The access is restricted to resources in the VPC of the EKS cluster and is governed by the specified security group.
