Today, we are excited to announce that HAQM EMR has made it up to 35% faster, year on year, to launch an HAQM EMR on EC2 cluster. With these improvements, majority of the customer can launch their HAQM EMR on EC2 clusters in 5 mins or less.
HAQM EMR is a cloud big data platform for data processing, interactive analysis, and machine learning using open-source frameworks such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, and Presto. With this launch, your HAQM EMR on EC2 clusters will start-up 35% faster with no impact to performance. This improvement particularly benefits customers with short-running jobs on transient clusters.
Customers will get faster cluster start times when they launch their clusters with HAQM EMR versions 6.12 and higher. No further action is needed from your end.
