Running Spark jobs with the Spark operator

Running Spark jobs with the Spark operator - Amazon EMR

Amazon EMR releases 6.10.0 and higher support the Kubernetes operator for Apache Spark, or the Spark operator, as a job submission model for Amazon EMR on EKS. With the Spark operator, you can deploy and manage Spark applications with the Amazon EMR release runtime on your own Amazon EKS clusters. Once you deploy the Spark operator in your Amazon EKS cluster, you can directly submit Spark applications with the operator. The operator manages the lifecycle of Spark applications.

Note

Amazon EMR calculates pricing on Amazon EKS based on vCPU and memory consumption. This calculation applies to driver and executor pods. This calculation starts from when you download your Amazon EMR application image until the Amazon EKS pod terminates and is rounded to the nearest second.
