We are excited to announce that Amazon EMR on EKS is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions. These regions are in addition to the existing Asia Pacific (Beijing, Mumbai, Ningxia, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo), Australia (Sydney), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris, Stockholm), South America (São Paulo) and US (Northern California, N. Virginia, Ohio, Oregon) regions.
Amazon EMR on EKS allows customers to automate the provisioning and management of open-source big data frameworks on EKS. With EMR on EKS, customers can now run Spark applications alongside other types of applications on the same EKS cluster to improve resource utilization and simplify infrastructure management. Customers can deploy EMR applications on the same EKS cluster as other types of applications, which allows them to share resources and standardize on a single solution for operating and managing all their applications. Customers get access to the same EMR capabilities on EKS that they use on Amazon EC2 today, such as access to the latest performance optimized Spark runtime, EMR Studio for application development, and a persistent Spark UI for debugging.
