Amazon EMR now supports Amazon EC2 C7g (Graviton3) instances - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

We are excited to announce the support for Graviton3-based instances in Amazon EMR. You can now use Amazon EC2 C7G instances with EMR on EC2 and Amazon EKS. AWS Graviton3 processors are the latest in the AWS Graviton processor family. They provide better compute performance, floating point performance and support DDR5 memory that provides 50% more memory bandwidth as compared to DDR4. Amazon EMR launches support for Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute C7g (Graviton3) instances which improve cost-performance for Apache Spark workloads by up to 13%. You can improve cost-performance of Spark workloads running on EMR on EKS by up to 15% by migrating to Graviton3-based instances. The benchmark used in this post to arrive at the cost-performance improvement is derived from the industry-standard TPC-DS benchmark, and uses queries from the Spark SQL Performance Tests GitHub repo with the following fixes applied. Performance on your workloads may vary and therefore not yield similar cost savings.

Research and Engineering Studio on AWS Version 2024.08 now available - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Today we’re excited to announce Research and Engineering Studio (RES) on AWS Version 2024.08. This release adds new features such as Amazon S3 bucket mountpoints for Linux, allows creation of custom user roles and permission profiles, and offers the ability to adjust the list of Amazon EC2 instances available to launch as virtual desktops. Amazon S3 mountpoints allow Linux desktops to access S3 buckets as a file system. Amazon S3 buckets are created using the AWS Console or AWS CLI and onboarded to RES by administrators using the S3 Buckets page in the web portal. You can mount buckets in either Read Only or Read/Write mode. Read/Write buckets have an optional setting to restrict data access by project, or both project and user. RES can also mount S3 buckets from other AWS accounts with the proper permissions. Custom permission profiles allow administrators to create unique permissions and assign them to users or groups. Start by modifying the default Project Member and Project Ow...
