Optimize your Amazon EMR costs with these tips
Use Spot Instances
Utilize Spot instances for core and task nodes in EMR clusters when possible. Spot instances offer up to 90% discount on EC2 capacity. Set suitable timeout configurations to prevent job interruptions.
Monitor Cluster Usage
Monitor cluster usage and auto-scaling configurations through CloudWatch. Ensure appropriate sizing of clusters for workloads, and promptly terminate idle clusters to avoid resource wastage.
Leverage EMR Auto-scaling
Use EMR auto-scaling to dynamically adjust nodes based on workload, optimizing resource usage without overprovisioning. Configure auto-scaling based on CPU/memory metrics for consistent performance at lowest cost.
