Today, we are excited to announce that Amazon EMR has made it up to 35% faster, year on year, to launch an Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster. With these improvements, majority of the customer can launch their Amazon EMR on EC2 clusters in 5 mins or less.ENnbsp;

Amazon EMR is a cloud big data platform for data processing, interactive analysis, and machine learning using open-source frameworks such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, and Presto. With this launch, your Amazon EMR on EC2 clusters will start-up 35% faster with no impact to performance. This improvement particularly benefits customers with short-running jobs on transient clusters.ENnbsp;

Customers will get faster cluster start times when they launch their clusters with Amazon EMR versions 6.12 and higher. No further action is needed from your end.
