We are excited to announce that Amazon EMR on EKS is now available in the Middle East (Bahrain) and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Regions.
Amazon EMR on EKS provides a deployment option for Amazon EMR that allows you to run open-source big data frameworks on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). With Amazon EMR on EKS, customers can now run Spark applications alongside other application types on the same Amazon EKS cluster to improve resource utilization, simplify infrastructure management and standardize on a single solution for operating and managing their applications. Customers get access to the same Amazon EMR capabilities on Amazon 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.
