You can now launch Amazon EMR clusters in the AWS Local Zone in Los Angeles (LA), California. Amazon EMR helps customers process vast amounts of data quickly and cost-effectively at scale. Using open source tools such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Apache Flink , Apache Hudi (Incubating), and Presto, coupled with the dynamic scalability of Amazon EC2, EMR gives analytical teams the engines and elasticity to run Petabyte-scale analysis for a fraction of the cost of traditional on-premises clusters. With support for AWS Local Zones, customers can now deploy their latency-sensitive big data applications close to their users in Los Angeles. The LA Local Zone is a new type of AWS infrastructure deployment that places compute, storage, and other select services closer to customers, giving developers the ability to run applications that require single-digit millisecond latencies to end-users in LA.
