Amazon EMR 7.3 now provides enhanced protection for In-Transit data
Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Amazon EMR 7.3. With Amazon EMR 7.3, you get enhanced data protection by encrypting data in-transit for distributed applications. This helps you run workloads that meet strict regulatory or compliance requirements by protecting the confidentiality and integrity of your data. Amazon EMR enables in-transit encryption for 22 endpoints used with open source engines like Apache Hadoop, Apache Hive, Apache HBase and Apache Flink.
Furthermore, Amazon EMR on EKS supports open table formats on Apache Flink applications, providing you with fast query performance over large tables residing in Amazon S3. Amazon EMR on EKS adds Apache Iceberg and Delta support for Apache Flink, and upgrades to Apache Flink Operator 1.9.
Amazon EMR Release 7.3 supports Trino 442, Apache Iceberg 1.5.2, Delta 3.2.0, Hudi 0.15.0, Zeppelin 0.11.1 and TensorFlow 2.16.1. The release is now available in all regions where Amazon EMR is available. To learn how to enable in transit encryption for your Amazon EMR clusters, view the TLS documentation.
