Automating EMR Serverless with Amazon EventBridge

You can use Amazon EventBridge to automate your AWS services and respond automatically to system events, such as application availability issues or resource changes. EventBridge delivers a near real-time stream of system events that describe changes in your AWS resources. You can write simple rules to indicate which events are of interest to you, and what automated actions to take when an event matches a rule. With EventBridge, you can automatically:

• Invoke an AWS Lambda function

• Relay an event to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams

• Activate an AWS Step Functions state machine

• Notify an Amazon SNS topic or an Amazon SQS queue

For example, when you use EventBridge with EMR Serverless, you can activate an AWS Lambda function when an ETL job succeed or notify an Amazon SNS topic when an ETL job fails.

EMR Serverless emits three kinds of events:

• Application state change events – Events that emit every state change of an application. For more information about application states, see Application states.

• Job run state change events – Events that emit every state change of a job run. For more information about, see Job run states.

• Job run retry events – Events that emit every retry of a job run from Amazon EMR Serverless releases 7.1.0 and higher.
