AWS Elastic MapReduce (EMR)

Amazon EMR (Elastic MapReduce) is a big data platform from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows users to process and analyze large amounts of data. It's a managed cluster service that can be used to run big data frameworks like Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop on AWS. This allows you to easily integrate Amazon EMR activities with your existing enterprise workload automation solution. By extending your existing enterprise automation to AWS EMR you maintain end-to-end visibility, regain centralized command and control, alerting, SLA management, reporting and auditing.
