Published on Apr 10, 2015
Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) is a web service that allows you to easily and securely provision and manage your Hadoop clusters. In this talk, we will introduce you to Amazon EMR design patterns, such as using various data stores such as Amazon S3, how to take advantage of both transient and active clusters, as well as other Amazon EMR architectural patterns. We will dive deep on how to dynamically scale your cluster and address the ways you can fine-tune your cluster. We will discuss bootstrapping Hadoop applications from our partner ecosystem that you can use natively with Amazon EMR. Lastly, we will share best practices on how to keep your Amazon EMR cluster cost-effective.
