This post provides a detailed walkthrough of two new encryption options to help you secure your EMR cluster that handles sensitive data. The first option is native EBS encryption to encrypt volumes attached to EMR clusters.

In this post, we outline three Cassandra deployment options, as well as provide guidance about determining the best practices for your use case.
