EMR

Elastic MapReduce

A cloud service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that simplifies the process of running big data frameworks like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. It allows users to process vast amounts of data easily using distributed computing. Amazon EMR is commonly used for large-scale data analysis, machine learning, and data transformation tasks. It automatically provisions and scales clusters of virtual machines to run these frameworks and can be integrated with other AWS services like S3 for storage. The key advantage of EMR is that it eliminates the need for users to manage their big data infrastructure, making data processing faster, more scalable, and cost-efficient.
