Amazon EMR
Amazon EMR is the industry-leading cloud big data platform for processing vast amounts of data using open-source tools such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Apache Flink, Apache Hudi, and Presto. With EMR you can run Petabyte-scale analysis at less than half of the cost of traditional on-premises solutions and over 3x faster than standard Apache Spark. For short-running jobs, you can spin up and spin down clusters and pay per second for the instances used. For long-running workloads, you can create highly available clusters that automatically scale to meet demand. If you have existing on-premises deployments of open-source tools such as Apache Spark and Apache Hive, you can also run EMR clusters on AWS Outposts. Analyze data using open-source ML frameworks such as Apache Spark MLlib, TensorFlow, and Apache MXNet. Connect to Amazon SageMaker Studio for large-scale model training, analysis, and reporting.
