InstanceTypeConfig - Amazon EMR
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

InstanceTypeConfig

An instance type configuration for each instance type in an instance fleet, which determines the Amazon EC2 instances Amazon EMR attempts to provision to fulfill On-Demand and Spot target capacities. When you use an allocation strategy, you can include a maximum of 30 instance type configurations for a fleet. For more information about how to use an allocation strategy, see Configure Instance Fleets. Without an allocation strategy, you may specify a maximum of five instance type configurations for a fleet.

Note

The instance fleet configuration is available only in Amazon EMR releases 4.8.0 and later, excluding 5.0.x versions.
