Setting up

Complete the following tasks to get set up for Amazon EMR on EKS. If you've already signed up for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and have been using Amazon EKS, you are almost ready to use Amazon EMR on EKS. If you have already completed any of these steps, you may skip them and move on to the next step.

Note
