Amazon EMR Notebooks are available as Amazon EMR Studio Workspaces in the new console

Making the transition from EMR Notebooks to Workspaces

In the new Amazon EMR console, we've merged EMR Notebooks with Amazon EMR Studio Workspaces into a single experience. When you use an EMR Studio, you can create and configure different Workspaces to organize and run notebooks. If you had Amazon EMR notebooks in the old console, they're available as EMR Studio Workspaces in the new console.

Amazon EMR created these new EMR Studio Workspaces for you. The number of Studios that we created corresponds to the number of distinct VPCs that you use from EMR Notebooks. For example, if you connect to EMR clusters in two different VPCs from EMR Notebooks, then we created two new EMR Studios. Your notebooks are distributed among the new Studios.

Important

We turned off the option to create new notebooks in the old Amazon EMR console. Instead, use Create Workspace in the new Amazon EMR console.

For more information on Amazon EMR Studio Workspaces, see Learn Workspace basics. For a conceptual overview of EMR Studio, see Workspaces on the How Amazon EMR Studio works page.

What do you need to do?

While you can still use your existing notebooks in the old console, we recommend that you instead use Amazon EMR Studio Workspaces in the new console. You must configure additional role permissions to turn on the capabilities in EMR Studio that aren’t available in EMR Notebooks.

Note

At a minimum, to view existing EMR Notebooks as EMR Studio Workspaces and to create new Workspaces, users must have elasticmapreduce:ListStudios and elasticmapreduce:CreateStudioPresignedUrl permissions on their roles. To access all of the EMR Studio features, see Enabling EMR Studio features for EMR Notebooks users for the complete list of added permissions that EMR Notebooks users will need.

Enhanced capabilities in EMR Studio beyond EMR Notebooks

With Amazon EMR Studio, you can set up and use the following capabilities that aren't available with EMR Notebooks:

For a complete list of capabilities with Amazon EMR Studio, see Key features of EMR Studio.

Enabling EMR Studio features for EMR Notebooks users

The new EMR Studios that we will create as part of this merge use the existing EMR_Notebooks_DefaultRole IAM role as the EMR Studio service role.

Users who transition to EMR Studio from EMR Notebooks and want to use the additional capabilities of EMR Studio require several new role permissions. Add the following permissions to the roles of your EMR Notebooks users who plan to use EMR Studio.

Note

At a minimum, to view existing EMR Notebooks as EMR Studio Workspaces and to create new Workspaces, users must have elasticmapreduce:ListStudios and elasticmapreduce:CreateStudioPresignedUrl permissions on their roles. To use all of the EMR Studio features, add all of the permissions listed below. Admin users also need permission to create and manage an EMR Studio. For more information, see Administrator permissions to create and manage an EMR Studio.

"elasticmapreduce:DescribeStudio", "elasticmapreduce:ListStudios", "elasticmapreduce:CreateStudioPresignedUrl", "elasticmapreduce:UpdateEditor", "elasticmapreduce:PutWorkspaceAccess", "elasticmapreduce:DeleteWorkspaceAccess", "elasticmapreduce:ListWorkspaceAccessIdentities", "emr-containers:ListVirtualClusters", "emr-containers:DescribeVirtualCluster", "emr-containers:ListManagedEndpoints", "emr-containers:DescribeManagedEndpoint", "emr-containers:CreateAccessTokenForManagedEndpoint", "emr-containers:ListJobRuns", "emr-containers:DescribeJobRun", "servicecatalog:SearchProducts", "servicecatalog:DescribeProduct", "servicecatalog:DescribeProductView", "servicecatalog:DescribeProvisioningParameters", "servicecatalog:ProvisionProduct", "servicecatalog:UpdateProvisionedProduct", "servicecatalog:ListProvisioningArtifacts", "servicecatalog:DescribeRecord", "servicecatalog:ListLaunchPaths", "cloudformation:DescribeStackResources"

The following permissions are also required to use the collaboration capabilities in EMR Studio, but weren't required with EMR Notebooks.

"sso-directory:SearchUsers", "iam:GetUser", "iam:GetRole", "iam:ListUsers", "iam:ListRoles", "sso:GetManagedApplicationInstance"
