How To: Upgrade from Open Distro to OpenSearch

Open Distro 1.13.2 needs to be upgraded or mitigated for Log4j.

OpenSearch and Open Distro are similar in use, different in construction. Open Distro is a collection of tools and plugins that sit on top of builds of OSS Elasticsearch and Kibana (in your case version 7.10.2).
