Plan and Configure Clusters
This section explains configuration options and instructions for planning, configuring, and launching clusters using Amazon EMR. Before you launch a cluster, you make choices about your system based on the data that you're processing and your requirements for cost, speed, capacity, availability, security, and manageability. Your choices include:
-
What region to run a cluster in, where and how to store data, and how to output results. See Configure Cluster Location and Data Storage.
-
Whether a cluster is long-running or transient, and what software it runs. See Configuring a Cluster to Auto-Terminate or Continue and Configure Cluster Software.
-
Whether a cluster has a single master node or three master nodes. See Plan and Configure Master Nodes.
-
The hardware and networking options that optimize cost, performance, and availability for your application. See Configure Cluster Hardware and Networking.
-
How to set up clusters so you can manage them more easily, and monitor activity, performance, and health. See Configure Cluster Logging and Debugging and Tag Clusters.
-
How to authenticate and authorize access to cluster resources, and how to encrypt data. See Security in Amazon EMR.
-
How to integrate with other software and services. See Drivers and Third-Party Application Integration.
