Kubernetes also […]

Apache Hadoop YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) is a cluster resource manager responsible for assigning computational resources (CPU, memory, I/O), and scheduling and monitoring jobs submitted to a Hadoop cluster. This generic framework allows for effective management of cluster resources for distributed data processing frameworks, such as Apache Spark, Apache MapReduce, and Apache Hive. When […]

Amazon EMR is a cloud big data platform for running large-scale distributed data processing jobs, interactive SQL queries, and machine learning (ML) applications using open-source analytics frameworks such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, and Presto. Amazon EMR launches all nodes for a given cluster in the same Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Availability Zone […]

Enterprises often want to centralize governance and compliance requirements, and provide a common set of policies on how Amazon EMR instances should be set up.

Freedom from traditional data warehouse constraints frees up […]

This post explores how you can use AWS Lake Formation integration with Amazon EMR (still in beta) to implement fine-grained column-level access controls while using Spark in a Zeppelin Notebook. My previous post Extract Salesforce.com data using AWS Glue and analyzing with Amazon Athena showed you a simple use case for extracting any Salesforce object data using AWS Glue and Apache Spark, saving it to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), cataloging the data using the Data Catalog in Glue, and querying it using Amazon Athena.

This is a guest post by Kong Zhao, Solution Architect at NVIDIA Corporation This post shares how NVIDIA sped up RAPIDS XGBoost performance up to 4.5 times faster and reduced costs up to 5.4 times less by using Amazon EMR running Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G4 instances. Gradient boosting is a powerful machine […]

What if you could control the access to your data lake centrally? Would it be more convenient to share specific data securely with internal and external customers? With AWS Lake Formation and its integration with Amazon EMR, you can easily perform these administrative tasks. This post goes through a use case and reviews the steps to control the data access and permissions of your existing data lake.
