Creating an EMR Serverless application from the EMR Studio console

From the EMR Studio console, you can create, view, and manage EMR Serverless applications. To navigate to the EMR Studio console, follow the instructions in Getting started from the console.

Create an application

With the Create application page, you can create an EMR Serverless application by following these steps.

  1. In the Name field, enter the name you want to call your application.

  2. In the Type field, choose Spark or Hive as the type of the application.

  3. In the Release version field, choose the EMR release number.

  4. In the Architecture options, choose the instruction set architecture to use. For more information, see Amazon EMR Serverless architecture options.

    • arm64 — 64-bit ARM architecture; to use Graviton processors

    • x86_64 — 64-bit x86 architecture; to use x86-based processors

  5. There are two application setup options for the remaining fields: default settings and custom settings. These fields are optional.

    Default settings — Default settings allow you to create an application quickly with pre-initialized capacity. This includes one driver and one executor for Spark, and one driver and one Tez Task for Hive. The default settings don't enable network connectivity to your VPCs. The application is configured to stop if idle for 15 minutes, and auto-starts on job submission.

    Custom settings — Custom settings allow you to modify the following properties.

    • Pre-initialized capacity — The number of drivers and executors or Hive Tez Task workers, and the size of each worker.

    • Application limits — The maximum capacity of an application.

    • Application behavior — The application's auto-start and auto-stop behavior.

    • Network connections — Network connectivity to VPC resources.

    • Tags — Custom tags that you can assign to the application.

    For more information about pre-initialized capacity, application limits, and application behavior, see Configuring an application when working with EMR Serverless. For more information about network connectivity, see Configuring VPC access for EMR Serverless applications to connect to data.

  6. To create the application, choose Create application .
