Today, we are excited to announce a simplified console experience for creating Amazon EMR Studio.ENnbsp;With the new experience, with just a few clicks, you can get started with interactive and batch workloads with default settings. The default experience also creates an EMR Serverless application ready to serve interactive workloads. Additionally, with improved start times, you can now launch your EMR Studio Workspaces in seconds to perform interactive analysis in notebooks.

EMR Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) that makes it easy for data scientists and data engineers to develop, visualize, and debug big data and analytics applications written in PySpark, Python, Scala, and R. With the new simplified experience, EMR will provide defaults for your interactive and batch workloads and creates the required AWS resources such as Amazon S3 locations to hold your code assets and IAM service roles needed to access the assets. You can define one or more Workspaces that will provide an IDE for your users inside EMR Studio. As part of the Studio creation for interactive workloads, EMR will also create an EMR Serverless Application along with a runtime IAM role to run your notebooks.

This feature is generally available in all commercialENnbsp;regions whereENnbsp;EMR Studio and EMR Serverless is supported. To learn more, see the EMR documentation.
