Amazon Elastic MapReduce Deep Dive and Best Practices (BDT404) | AWS re:Invent 2013
Published on Nov 26, 2013
Amazon Elastic MapReduce is one of the largest Hadoop operators in the world. Since its launch four years ago, our customers have launched more than 5.5 million Hadoop clusters. In this talk, we introduce you to Amazon EMR design patterns such as using Amazon S3 instead of HDFS, taking advantage of both long and short-lived clusters and other Amazon EMR architectural patterns. We talk about how to scale your cluster up or down dynamically and introduce you to ways you can fine-tune your cluster. We also share best practices to keep your Amazon EMR cluster cost efficient.
