Can I run opendistro Kibaba infront of my current AWS ES clusters. My goal is to use Opendistro Kibana with my SAML via Okta for role based access. We have version 6.x and 7.x ES clusters.

I don’t think that this is possible because you need access to the EC2 instances running Elasticsearch to configure SAML in a config yaml file and execute a script.
