This post provides a detailed walkthrough of two new encryption options to help you secure your EMR cluster that handles sensitive data. The first option is native EBS encryption to encrypt volumes attached to EMR clusters. The second option is an HAQM S3 encryption that allows you to use different encryption modes and customer master keys (CMKs) for individual S3 buckets with HAQM EMR.

In this post, we outline three Cassandra deployment options, as well as provide guidance about determining the best practices for your use case.
