Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. Amazon EMR is a cloud big data platform for running large-scale distributed data processing jobs, interactive SQL queries, and machine learning (ML) applications using open-source analytics frameworks such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, and Presto. Amazon EMR supports Kerberos for authentication; you can enable Kerberos on Amazon EMR and put the cluster in a private subnet to maximize security. To access the cluster, the best practice is to use a Network Load Balancer (NLB) to expose only specific ports, which are access-controlled via security groups. By default, the NLB prevents Kerberos ticket authentication to any ... Read More
